Fisheries & Aquaculture Dependable online, inline, and atline solutions for aquaculture optimization. Forecast: farmed fish to overtake wild caught by 2030 02 Fish is wel -known as a healthy source of animal protein, fish sales are on the rise. This has turned aquaculture into high in unsaturated fats and other essential nutrients. a major part of the export economy in some countries. In 2015, 17% of worldwide animal protein intake came from fish (UN, The State of World Fisheries and It is expected that global seafood consumption from Aquaculture 2018). According to the UN, the current farm raised sources will increase significantly in the world population is expected to increase to 9.7 bil ion by coming years. Therefore administering sustainable 2050 ( “World Population Prospects 2019: Highlights” ). practices in the burgeoning aquaculture industry is key to al eviate pressure on wild fish stocks and reduce other With the ever-growing population comes the chal enge environmental impacts. of global food security. Aquaculture has already gained a foothold in many coastal communities, and farm raised Adherence to strict environmental and health standards Medical treatments and additional nutrients must be is important as a food producer. Animal health, hygiene, regulated to protect the other wildlife. Ensuring correct and especial y water use are important factors to dosage of these as well as monitoring the water quality consider in aquaculture. Disease and sickness can spread and waste is essential for compliance with government easily between the animals, and due to the nature of standards. these floating aquatic farms, the outbreaks can spread to wild populations as wel .

This removes 2 2 • Improve fish welfare, lower overhead costs, lessen the attached parasites, which can then be filtered from environmental burden by measuring online the water. However overdosing can cause oxidative stress in the fish, the bleaching of skin/scales, and death. Therefore, a quick analysis and response time is needed. The Metrohm Process Analytics 2035 and 2060 Process Analyzers are suitable to perform this measurement online. 2035 Process Analyzer for potentiometric titration 2060 Process Analyzer measurements Fish cages in Velfjorden, Brønnøy, Norway.

AN-PAN-1039 Monitoring nutrient loads The 2035 TP Analyzer is configured with an integrated Farmed fish require many essential fats, amino acids, and cuvette digester to measure both ortho- and total other nutritional elements to grow. However, many of phosphate phosphorus around the clock. these nutrients also feed other organisms in the water. In higher concentrations, limiting nutrients such as 2035 TP offered in 3 measurement ranges: phosphate enable proliferation of toxic algal blooms, • Low TP (0–150 μg/L) significantly diminishing water quality for the fish. • Standard TP (0–5 mg/L), • High TP (0–100 mg/L).
