Oxygen Demand and Aeration Calculator
Enter the biomass, the fish’s oxygen consumption and your aerator’s capacity.
See the system that does this automaticallyOpen the live demoHow is it calculated?
- Hourly demand (kg/h) = Biomass × Oxygen consumption ÷ 1,000,000
- Aerators = Hourly demand × Safety factor ÷ Aerator capacity
- Oxygen consumption rises with temperature, fish size and after feeding; values are general references.
FCRSOFT
FCRSOFT does this for you automatically
You don’t need to do the calculations and checks on this page by hand every day. FCRSOFT derives them all automatically from the records entered in the field.
- Oxygen, temperature and pH readings are recorded per cage.
- Sensor data is collected automatically, with instant alerts when thresholds are crossed.
- Water quality history is reviewed side by side with FCR and mortality data.
