Development of an aquaculture system using nanobubble technology for the optimation of dissolved oxygen in culture media for nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to discover the process of enrichment of dissolved oxygen in fish cultivation media using nanobubble technology. This study was conducted with two treatments, namely a cultivation media without fish and a cultivation media containing 8 fish with an average body length of 24.5 cm. The results showed that the concentration of dissolved oxygen increased from 6.5 mg/L to 25 mg/L. The rate of increase in dissolved oxygen concentration for 30 minutes is 0.61 pp/minute. The rate of decrease in dissolved oxygen concentration in treatment 1 is 3.08 ppm/day and in treatment 2 is 0.23 ppm/minute. It was concluded that nanobubble is able to increase dissolved oxygen.
