"Apparatus, Technique and Tao" in Recirculating Aquaculture System
Recirculating aquaculture system is a very complex system engineering. It requires the operator to have sufficient knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, aquatic animals, microbiology and other professional disciplines. In the process of farming, all kinds of risks will appear. 13 years in the business. We have seen too many major accidents caused by unprofessional operations or poor control of details. So we've been trying to persuade people who don't know much about Aquaculture technology. Don't go into the industry blindly believing some myth of success. I have been pained by too many disastrous cases. The recirculating aquaculture system can be summarized into three states: apparatus, technique and Tao.
As the old saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your tools. This "device" is when we recycle water to raise fish. All physical tools used. During system design and planning, it is important to recognize which products and tools work best, at the lowest cost, and with the highest security. Any attempt to think of only one side of performance will lead to serious errors later on. For example, someone has a really bad machine and it breaks down in the middle of the night. And some alarm equipment did not alarm in time. Water flowing out of a pool or a body of water lacking oxygen. A large number of fish escaped or died in a short time, causing huge losses to farmers. Therefore, when choosing breeding equipment, bait, medicine, seedlings. We must choose products with good reputation and stable quality. Most of the time, expensive things have no other disadvantages except that they are expensive. Cheap things have no other advantages than being cheap. (Of course, most people don't think about this sentence seriously.)
By "techniques" we mean farming techniques and methods. Aquaculture is ultimately a technology-based industry. Breeding technology is good, we have a high probability of success. Breeding technology is not standard. There are all kinds of problems. When problems arise, we don't plan ahead. You're going to do something about it. And cause huge losses. The list goes on and on. Some people find that there is not enough dissolved oxygen in the water during farming. It occurred to me to add an oxygenator. In the process of buying the equipment, the fish began to float and die. Once the situation of lack of oxygen, fish and shrimp feeding situation will become worse. Your immunity will be reduced. And then lead to easy disease. Some farms don't even have generators or oxygen tanks. In the event of a sudden power failure. In a short time, large numbers of fish and shrimp died from lack of oxygen. Therefore, we should continue to learn and improve breeding technology. At the same time, in the design of recycling aquaculture system, we should take into account the occurrence of some unexpected situations. Raise our risk awareness. Plan your plan well.
I want to say that "Tao" refers to our mentality above farming technology. Aquaculture is like many industries. Generally follow the 80/20 law. In other words, only a few people are successful. And most people fail at farming. What does it take to succeed? Success requires us to locate accurately first. Ensure that we in front of the selection of equipment, feed selection, seedling selection, water selection and other aspects, do professional and correct. At the same time, our Aquaculture technology is also excellent. There are many, many problems with aquaculture, such as disease. Insect pests, water quality changes, weather effects, equipment failures, human error, etc. When these situations arise, if there is a plan, we can solve them the first time.
But at the end of the day, the decisive factor is the people who raise them. What we mean by Logos is. Every manager should treat his breed as a child. Treat it like a lover. We have an old saying, "You take shrimp as your first love. Shrimp help you make money." That's the idea. When we feed, do we ever wonder if the food we eat is leftovers, moldy food? Is the food we feed the fish, is it bad food, moldy food? When we add clothes when the weather changes, do we also think about how the temperature change will affect the fish? So what decisions will we make? To reduce the negative impact of these changes? By already and people, by already and fish. This is the highest level of what we call the triple level. I believe that recycling aquaculture is very successful when you are at the highest level.
