Aquaculture Monitoring.

The Challenge: Uncontrollable Dissolved Oxygen Drops and Biomass Loss.

In intensive and semi-intensive aquaculture systems, high biomass density requires meticulous management of dissolved oxygen levels. Traditional manual or intermittent testing methods delivered results only every few hours, completely missing overnight thermal inversions or sudden biological consumption spikes. When oxygen levels drop below critical thresholds before operators can respond, anoxia events occur, resulting in mass mortality and severe financial losses.

The Solution: Continuous Automation and Monitoring with MONARCH.

The MONARCH – Aquaculture system is deployed directly into production ponds or tanks for completely autonomous operation:

  • Measurement Range: Dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, and secondary water parameters;

  • Actuation Capability: Automated, direct control over water pumps and oxygenation systems/aerators;

  • Infrastructure: Autonomous, plug-and-play system, ready to install with local independent power;

  • Communications: Continuous remote monitoring with real-time alerts.

Energy Efficiency
Aerators left running preventively in excess
Smart activation only when required
Direct reduction in electricity costs

Why This Matters for Global Aquaculture Producers.

For aquaculture producers across rapidly expanding farming regions—where intensive stocking densities constantly challenge ecosystem threshold limits—deploying smart monitoring represents a strategic operational advantage. Facilities utilizing real-time automation report stabilized feed conversion ratios and reliable biosecurity safeguards against catastrophic environmental crashes.
