Aquaculture

Aquaculture software development

Pond records, water quality, feed and harvest data for shrimp and fish producers, built to work where the coverage does not.

What is aquaculture software?

Aquaculture software tracks a production cycle in water: what was stocked in a pond, what it was fed, what the water was doing, and what came out at harvest. Codiot builds pond-level record keeping, water quality tracking, and feed analytics for producers, feed companies, and farm-services groups, replacing the paper culture record forms that most of the sector still runs on.

The challenges

Where it usually breaks.

The record is a paper form

Stocking, feeding, and water readings are written on a culture record form and rekeyed at an office weeks later, by which time the cycle they describe has already finished.

Ponds sit beyond good coverage

Mobile data at a farm is often expensive, intermittent, or absent. Anything that needs a live connection gets abandoned in the field and the team reverts to paper.

Water quality moves faster than reporting

Dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and temperature drive survival daily. A monthly report explains a loss; a same-day reading lets someone still prevent one.

Feed is the largest controllable cost

Feed conversion decides the economics of a cycle, and it can only be calculated properly if daily feeding and sampling were recorded consistently in the first place.

Species and market vary more than expected

Vannamei and monodon behave differently, safe ranges differ, and each country brings its own language, units, and calendar. Hard-coding one market makes the second one a rewrite.

What we build

The systems that fit your domain.

Offline-first pond records

Full capture with no signal and background sync when a connection appears, which is the single decision that determines whether field teams keep using the system.

Water quality tracking

On-site readings held against per-species safe ranges, so a pond drifting out of tolerance is visible immediately rather than at the next visit.

Feeding and growth analytics

Feed conversion ratio and survival estimates calculated from what was actually logged, turning daily entry into the numbers the business runs on.

Sampling with photo diagnostics

Specimen photographs and visual checks captured in the field, giving remote experts something concrete to assess and building a visual history per pond.

Technician visit workflows

Structured routines and standard operating procedures so advice stays consistent across a large, dispersed field team.

Multi-country administration and alerts

Per-subsidiary administration and regional alerting, for disease season or an outbreak nearby, in each country's own language.

Solutions

Data migration services

Moving data off a legacy system without losing history, breaking reports, or discovering the problems on cutover weekend.

FAQ

Common questions, answered plainly.

What is aquaculture software?

Software that manages a production cycle in water: stocking, days of culture, daily feeding, water quality, sampling, and harvest, recorded per pond so the numbers reconcile to a cycle. On top of that sit the metrics the business runs on, principally feed conversion ratio and survival rate.

Why do aquaculture apps need to work offline?

Because ponds are usually where coverage is weakest and data is most expensive. An app that requires connectivity is abandoned within days and the team goes back to paper forms. Offline capture with background sync is the difference between adoption and shelfware in this sector.

What data should a pond record capture?

At minimum: species, pond area, stocking date and quantity, days of culture, daily feed, water quality readings, sampling results, and harvest weight. Every entry should attach to a specific pond and cycle, otherwise feed conversion and survival cannot be calculated with any confidence.

Can one platform serve farms in several countries?

Yes, provided variation is designed in rather than added later. Species lists, safe ranges, units, and terminology should be configurable per market, the interface localised, and each country given its own administration so a regional team manages its own users and alerts without waiting on head office.
