Dissolved oxygen, held where shrimp grow.
NovaAquatech builds the oxygen layer and the data layer for intensive shrimp farms in Vietnam — and instruments every pond, so the result is a number rather than an opinion. Below is 277 pond-days of it, measured on a working commercial farm.

Three things every intensive farm lives with
Oxygen collapses at 05:00
Respiration and night-time algal demand pull dissolved oxygen to its daily minimum just before sunrise. That one hour shapes survival, feed intake and disease pressure for the whole crop.
Open loop, not a setpoint
Surface aeration runs on a clock rather than on the pond's actual state, and it cannot lift oxygen far above saturation however much horsepower you add. Farms buy horsepower to cover uncertainty instead of buying certainty.
Experience does not scale
The best operators read a pond by eye. That judgement cannot transfer to the next farm, the next crop or the next hire — because it was never recorded.
Hardware that moves oxygen. Software that measures it.
Nanobubble & oxygen
Built on Japanese-origin patented ceramic bubble-generation technology, integrated through our own 3P design into pond-scale units (NovaO2 oxygen generation plus SH-20 nanobubble modules) and commissioned against a written capacity-test SOP before any animals are stocked.
Every pond is a node
Continuous dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH and total ammonia nitrogen per pond, read every 30 seconds by an on-farm gateway that mirrors the sensor feed into a local database, plus an operator app for the measurements a probe cannot take.
Monitoring, then models
Live today: continuous monitoring, threshold alerting and a pilot dashboard on the farm. In development: event detection and a biological model trained on our own pond data.
Dawn dissolved oxygen, two populations that barely overlap
Same farm, same water source, same feed lot, same crop. One variable changed: how oxygen gets into the water.

One physical layer, three sectors
"Aqua" is water — the carrier in every application, not a limit to aquaculture. Nanobubble oxygenation and the same measurement discipline are being taken into three lines of work.
Shrimp and aquaculture
Dawn oxygen held at a setpoint on a commercial intensive farm, with every pond instrumented. The pilot above is this sector.

Oxygen-enriched water for root zones, hydroponic solutions, post-harvest wash water and livestock drinking water — the next applications of the same physical layer.

Hardware and sensing in production
Nanobubble and oxygen units on a commercial farm; five ponds instrumented and logging since late May 2026; monitoring and threshold alerting have run continuously since early July, after a four-week sensor outage on two ponds in June.
ShrimpOS v1 — farm operations software
Productising the pilot dashboard into a multi-farm control tower, with event detection and structured crop records. Every pilot pond is a labelled training set: environment, growth, pathogen and energy variables on one timeline.
Thirty to fifty ponds, then predictive control
Widen the sensor estate, then train the biological model that turns monitoring into forecast — and forecast into an oxygen policy the system executes on the operator's confirmation.
Bring us a pond. We will bring the instruments.
We would rather show you a dataset from your own water than argue about ours. If you run intensive ponds and want one of them measured properly, that conversation takes fifteen minutes.
