Making survey reports can be difficult and time consuming, but Aanderaa Data Instruments España, S.L. says that its turnkey Environmental Survey Report Generator it is as easy as clicking a button.
According to the company, it gives a complete vertical and horizontal survey of the projected area making sure the optimal fish farm site is found.
By monitoring important parameters such as oxygen saturation, current conditions, water temperature and conductivity/salinity, lack of oxygen (hypoxia), which has a very negative effect on farmed fish stock, can be avoided. Oxygen saturation can vary greatly even within limited geographical areas. Upwelling of unoxygenated (anaerobic) water can cause unhealthy, distressed fish stock and even fish death.
Even very small reductions in the oxygen level affect growth and appetite, and other energy demanding processes are slowed down. In addition, the gut of the fish looses some of its ability to stop bacteria and viruses. This implies that both from the perspective of fish welfare and production considerations, it is important to avoid lack of oxygen in fish cages.
AADI provides the most modern sensors and instruments to find and document the best location for an aquafarm.
The Report Generator will automatically generate a report with following data:
• Current profile
• Horizontal and vertical currents
• Plot of temperature, oxygen and salinity
• Print of detailed currents at selectable depths
• Numerical and graphical values
