Aquaculture
Aquaculture: stock and warehouse, production and shipment, customer accounts and reporting.
Challenges
- Stock and yield are not separated per pond or cage.
- The feed conversion ratio is not calculated.
- Water quality readings are not on record.
- Mortality is not reflected in the biomass estimate.
Workflows
Pond and biomass
- The pond or cage is opened with fry count and date.
- Mortality and harvest are deducted from the biomass.
- Average weight is updated by sampling.
Feed and water quality
- Feed consumption is posted to the pond as a consumable.
- Temperature and oxygen readings are posted to the pond record.
- An out-of-threshold reading raises an alert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I separate stock per pond?
Yes — each pond or cage opens as a separate production unit with its own biomass tracking.
Can I compute the feed conversion ratio?
Yes — the feed posted to the pond is ratioed against growth to give the conversion.
Can I record water quality readings?
Yes — temperature and oxygen readings are posted to the pond record and an out-of-threshold value raises an alert.
Can mortality be reflected in the biomass?
Yes — mortality is deducted from the biomass and reported as a ratio.
Can I derive the cost per kilogram?
Yes — pond costs and harvest volume are held together, so the unit cost is computed.
