class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction\"><\/span>Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The aquaculture industry faces mounting pressure to improve production efficiency while maintaining environmental sustainability. With global seafood consumption increasing and wild fish stocks declining, commercial fish farming operations must adopt advanced technologies to remain competitive.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <strong>Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)<\/strong>, aquaculture now produces over <strong>120 million tonnes<\/strong> of fish and seafood annually, accounting for nearly <strong>50% of global fish consumption<\/strong>.

Fish require adequate oxygen levels to metabolize food, grow efficiently, and resist disease. Most warm water species thrive at DO levels above <strong>5 mg\/L<\/strong>, while cold water species require <strong>6-8 mg\/L<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. James M.
