Oxygenator manufacturers point out that, in actual aquaculture practices, although oxygenators are already widely used in aquatic product farming, some people still don't pay enough attention to the issue of dissolved oxygen in water or even overlook its necessity. Most people still regard oxygenators merely as “fish-saving devices,” failing to fully harness their potential as “yield-enhancing machines.” This is a matter that deserves serious attention and improvement.

   Aerator manufacturer It was pointed out that, in actual aquaculture practices, although oxygenators are already widely used in aquatic product farming, some people still do not attach sufficient importance to the issue of dissolved oxygen in water or even overlook its necessity. Most people still regard oxygenators merely as “fish-saving devices,” failing to fully harness their potential as “yield-enhancing tools”—a situation that deserves serious attention and improvement.

  Dissolved oxygen in water is an essential and fundamental parameter for aquatic organisms. The level of dissolved oxygen also affects stocking density and production volume, and is closely linked to the efficiency of water surface utilization in aquaculture. Besides being supplied through gas dissolution and photosynthesis by aquatic plants, dissolved oxygen in water primarily comes from artificial aeration. Except in emergency situations or scientific experiments where chemical oxygenators are used, mechanical aeration is generally the preferred method. This article provides an introduction only to five commonly used types of aerators, intended purely as a reference.

   The aerator manufacturer stated that, There are many types of aerators, including impeller-type, skimmer-type, sprinkler-type, jet-type, wave-type, oxygen-injection pumps, and microporous aerators. Aside from some "custom-made" models—such as micro- and nano-aeration equipment designed specifically for large-scale, high-density aquaculture—five types are commonly used: sprinkler-type aerators, impeller-type aerators, skimmer-type aerators, wave-type aerators, and microporous aerators. Each type of aerator has its own unique functions and advantages.

   The aerator manufacturer stated that, The water-spraying aerator, also known as a floating oxygen pump or a floating centrifugal water pump aerator, or even a musical fountain-style aerator, features low output power (typically several hundred watts), a lightweight and compact body, a streamlined design, and ease of use.

  Basic principle: Pump the relatively poor-quality water from the bottom of the pool upward and spray it rapidly outward in all directions before letting it fall back down.

  Advantage:

  1. By spraying water upward and letting it fall back down, we can increase the duration and total surface area of aeration and oxygen enrichment in the air.

  2. It has a good oxygen-increasing effect and can rapidly boost the dissolved oxygen levels in surface waters within a short period of time.

  3. It also has practical aesthetic appeal and is suitable for use in garden landscapes or fish ponds at tourist attractions. Not only is it visually elegant and stylish, but it’s also quite easy to use.

  Defect: Due to its relatively small total oxygenation area and poor energy conversion efficiency, it is best suited for small fish ponds, shallow water bodies, ecological parks, and tourist pools.

  Feature: A splash-type aerator works particularly well when rescuing fish floating on the surface, as it can rapidly increase oxygen levels in the surface water. At the same time, it slows down the rate of thermal convection in the water body, thereby preventing the buildup of an anaerobic fermentation layer that would otherwise deplete oxygen levels at the water's surface.

  The impeller-type aerator is a relatively common model and a typical type of aerator. It boasts comprehensive functionality and has a long history. It excels in oxygenation, water mixing, and bubble generation, making it ideal for oxygenating large-scale water bodies with a water depth of over 1 meter.

Although fish floating to the surface can be caused by a variety of factors, in addition to excessive stocking density, overloading the total fish biomass, and poor water quality, the convective properties of water are also a major factor that cannot be overlooked. Simply put, when water temperature is low, its specific gravity (or density) increases, causing it to sink; conversely, when water temperature is high, its specific gravity (or density) decreases, making it float upward. Understanding and mastering the principles of water convection will greatly facilitate the smooth operation of aquaculture. On warm days, after being heated by the sun during the day, the warmer, lighter water tends to stay on top. As the sun sets and the air temperature begins to drop, the upper layer of water cools down, increasing its density, and gradually starts to sink. If the nighttime temperature remains relatively high, the water cools down slowly, and the upper layer won't reach the bottom of the pond until early morning. This is one of the main reasons why oxygen levels tend to drop sharply from late night into early morning on hot days. However, if a heavy rainstorm occurs in the evening, the situation changes dramatically. The cold, heavy rainwater quickly sinks to the bottom of the pond, stirring up sediment, leftover feed, fecal waste, biological residues, and other organic matter from the pond bottom and bringing them into the middle and upper layers of the water. These harmful organic substances rapidly deplete the dissolved oxygen in the water. Before dawn even breaks, the dissolved oxygen in the water may be completely used up, leaving the fish vulnerable to oxygen depletion and causing them to float to the surface—a phenomenon known as "floating and surfacing." Therefore, sudden heavy rainfall in the evening or at night can also lead to oxygen depletion and fish floating to the surface.
