- Supply of oxygen needed for fish farming
Fish is a nutritious and healthy food that is very popular all over the world. However, as the population of this planet increases, fish stocks in some oceans are decreasing. One of the ways to solve this shortage is fish farms.
Like any business venture, it has different aspects that make it a successful enterprise. When it comes to fish farming, it is a basic ingredient in various industrial gases that have many uses in aquaculture - from spawning to the time of transporting the final product for sale.
Sohail Gas as an expert In the production of gas, there is an industry that has a lot of information and experience about fish farming. Sohail Gas can, not only as a gas supplier, but also closely cooperate with this industry regarding the amount, type and frequency of use of a particular gas in various production processes.

Why do they use oxygen in fish farming?
The most productive gas used in fish breeding is oxygen. There are two main reasons for this. The most obvious is to preserve fish life as they hatch and grow. Another reason is a bit more interesting. Maintaining a stable oxygen gas level in the tank increases the metabolism of the fish, which in turn increases the conversion of food into fish mass. Therefore, the feed conversion rate (FCR) of the fish is reduced, which means less feed cost per kilogram of fish.
And if you have a fish farm, and your daily production is several tons of fish, You will have tons of food cost savings. In larger aquaculture systems, maintaining stable oxygen levels in tanks increases production. If you can increase the growth of the fish by adding liquid oxygen every day, it will reduce the time the fish stay in the water, which in turn increases the efficiency of the entire production cycle.
Typically, farms Modern and terrestrial aquaculture use what is called a rotational aquaculture system (RAS). It is basically a water treatment plant to circulate and reuse water. The system uses pumps to direct water through a series of filters to help purify the water before returning to the fish tanks. Oxygen gas is also used in this process to produce ozone to sterilize water.
Supply of oxygen for fish farms
Oxygen supply is essential for fish farms, so we declare our support in this regard. We can produce and supply the amount of oxygen needed by the fish farm in any system.
After processing the fish, other gases are also used. When the fish is ready to be shipped to stores or factories, oxygen turns from hero to enemy. Because after harvesting, we use other industrial gases to pack fish products. Some factories use MAP packaging (vacuum packaging under vacuum). In MAP packaging, there is a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Most of the fish packaging that you see in your local supermarket is like this. Carbon dioxide prevents the growth of bacteria, which makes the final product last longer. Nitrogen is both for displacing oxygen and also for maintaining the integrity of the packaging so that it looks good on the supermarket shelf.
