In any aquaculture plant maintaining dissolve oxygen (DO) level is essential for the better health and survival of the living organisms present in the water body specially fish. DO level can be maintained by aeration process. The general idea behind aeration is to bring the water into intimate contact with the air. Either the water may be discharged into free air or the air may be forced into water. Aeration process also removes light volatile organic compounds, dissolve gases and fix odor, taste etc. in case of drinking water. Some common Apparatus used includes: low cascades, multiple jet fountains throwing water to considerable heights, spray nozzles discharging above the surface of a reservoir, superimposed trays or shelves, submerged perforated pipes, and porous tubes and plates.There are two ways, standard oxygen transfer rate (SOTR) and standard aeration efficiency (SAE) of describing aerator performance. In selection of aerators for aeration in fish culture tank, durability and good standard aeration efficiency (SAE) value is too important moreover in case of aerators high standard oxygen transfer rate (SOTR) is important for the better growth of aquatic animals present in water. This article gives a review of different types of aerators used in aeration process based on various basis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
