| The most important single factor in achieving favorable results in fish farming is the oxygen level in the water. Fish absorb oxygen through direct contact with water.
Oxygenation of the water is a safety measure that protects the fish farmer against oxygen deficiencies occurring at a time when oxygen consumption is at its peak, and the fish growth at its best.
Nowadays the situation in intensive culture system is to breed a high stocking density at low water consumption per kilogram of biomass. You cannot accomplish this without using oxygen. The oxygen content of the water is the single most important factor affecting how much your facility can produce.
Ensuring adequate oxygen levels in the water at all times is an important safety factor which affects growth, health, appetite and general well-being of the fish. It also helps to reduce the effects of stress that water temperature produce in fish.
All this allows you to smoothly increase stock density, gives an optimal feed conversion ratio and ensures the highest possible survival levels under optimum breeding conditions.
Linde Gas supplies oxygen and the most efficient oxygenation equipment, continuously improved and developed in close interaction with our customers. But perhaps the most important know-how we offer is a thorough understanding of the interplay at all the elements in fish farming through our international network of fish farming experts.
