Seneye is bringing its optical sensor technology to aquaculture, offering continuous real-time monitoring of free ammonia (NH₃), carbon dioxide (CO₂), dissolved oxygen (O₂), pH and temperature. The technology is designed to move producers beyond periodic spot checks toward continuous intelligent monitoring.
Traditional electrochemical sensors require regular maintenance and recalibration, particularly in harsh aquatic conditions. Optical sensors offer an alternative, requiring minimal maintenance and providing continuous real-time data without recalibration.
While many systems measure total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), it is the free ammonia fraction (NH₃) that is toxic to fish and shrimp. Even at low concentrations, NH₃ can impact feed intake, growth rates, gill health, stress levels and disease susceptibility. Because NH₃ often builds gradually, performance can erode long before obvious signs appear.
Carbon dioxide monitoring remains less common than oxygen monitoring, despite its impact on growth, feed conversion, stress levels and oxygen utilisation. In intensive RAS and shrimp systems, CO₂ is becoming a key operational metric.
Continuous high-resolution oxygen data elevates monitoring from a survival parameter to a performance parameter, revealing feeding response, biomass loading, system efficiency and early warning signs of developing problems.
Seneye’s optical technology delivers monitoring of free ammonia at low levels, combined with dissolved oxygen, pH and temperature readings in a single system. Options include battery-powered standalone sensors for remote environments. Data can be viewed through a bespoke branded dashboard or integrated into existing analysis platforms, with cloud-based logging, trend analysis and smart alerts.
