The expectation to annually grown by 8% by the end of 2022 made shrimp farming one of the most important aquaculture sectors in Indonesia. With the promising resources in hand, Bahtera shares the government’s confidence to reach this goal.
Being one of the fisheries sectors that contributed to both foreign exchange earnings and national food security, many lives are dependent on shrimp farming.
Just as most industries, aquaculture is also facing problems concerning resource quality. Especially with the water quality as the heart of the industry that keeps on deteriorating.
How Climate Change Affects Water Quality
The thing that is out of farmers’ control and greatly affecting water quality is climatic conditions. Temperature, rainfall, drought, and salinity concentration may cause disease outbreaks to oxygen deficiency in the water.
Though there are advanced shrimp farms that have used IoT (Internet of Things) to monitor water quality, evenly implementing it in rural areas may be a challenge. Either way, preserving good water quality is a must for the aquaculture industry.
In several areas, shrimp farmers use aquatic plants to shade the ponds, use nets and fences to strengthen the earth’s dike, and apply lime to improve water quality. Though it may be effective, but it only serves as a temporary fix to the problems.
Preserving the Best Water Quality
Sanitizing water means preventing the growth of microorganisms. Having a reliable disinfection agent like Stockmeier’s Peracetic Acid proves to be the best solution to achieve that. It has the effective ability to combat any kind of microorganisms: bacteria, spores, yeasts, molds, and viruses.
Not only lower in costs if compared to other disinfecting methods, but Peracetic Acid is also more ecologically safe. It can also maintain the health of the overall ecosystem due to its ability to decompose to oxygen, acetic acid, and water after use. Hence, there will be only little need to neutralize the treated water entering waterways.
When being sustainable is a choice, choose sustainability for the sake of future generations.
