Shrimp are among the most oxygen-sensitive species farmed. General industry reference lines: optimal ≥ 5 mg/L, caution ≤ 3 mg/L, danger < 2 mg/L. The goal in a shrimp pond is not to detect hypoxia — it is to add oxygen before the line is crossed.
1. DO bottoms out before dawn. Algae produce oxygen during the day, peaking in the afternoon. After dark, photosynthesis stops while algae, shrimp and sediment keep consuming oxygen — DO reaches its daily minimum between 2 and 5 a.m. That is when most crashes happen, and when nobody is awake.
2. The early warning signs are easy to misread. Stressed shrimp move to the edges, cluster and surface. At night, with glare on the water, that is very hard to judge by eye. By the time shrimp gasp across the surface, it may already be too late.
3. Feeding pushes oxygen demand up. Uneaten feed and waste decompose and consume oxygen. Fixed-schedule aeration is often switched on too early or too late.
| Scale | Recommended setup | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 shrimp pond | 1 × DO sensor (optical, with auto-clean) + 1 × 4-channel controller | Controls 4 aerators; automatic threshold control + mobile alerts |
| 3–5 ponds | 1 sensor + controller per pond, one shared account | All ponds on one screen; alerts grouped per pond |
| 10+ ponds | Scale per pond, plus gateway and management console | Central management, device ledger, historical curves |
Final sizing depends on aerators per pond, motor power, power supply and pond layout — confirmed after an on-site survey.
Shrimp ponds are usually remote. A 4G outage is normal, not exceptional. Many systems put control logic in the cloud — when the cloud goes down, the pond is left unattended.
TAYKEE keeps the control logic on the pond-side controller. Even with 4G down and the platform unreachable, the controller still starts and stops aerators against the DO threshold, and back-fills data once the link returns. The mobile app clearly shows whether you are on cloud control or running locally.
For a shrimp pond, this matters more than how polished the interface looks.
1. Survey — pond count and area, aerator count and power, power supply, current monitoring practice.
2. Pilot — install on one pond and close the loop: monitor → alert → automatic aeration.
3. Verify — compare runtime, alert count and actual outcomes over one production cycle.
4. Scale — extend to the remaining ponds once the pilot data is confirmed.
We recommend piloting one pond first. Budget stays controllable and results are verifiable, instead of betting on the whole farm at once.
The optical probe uses no electrolyte and no membrane. An automatic wiper removes biofilm on a set interval; the sensing cap is a consumable, typically replaced every 1–2 years.
Q: I currently run aerators on a timer. Can I upgrade?Yes. Existing aerators and distribution can normally be kept — we add a controller and sensor. Whether the panel needs replacement depends on site power; confirmed during survey.
Q: How many ponds can one account manage?Multiple ponds per account, grouped with their own DO, device status and alerts. The limit depends on the service tier.
Q: What if connectivity is unreliable?Local control does not depend on the network (see above). Data is back-filled when the link returns.
