Comparison of the efficiency of nano-type oxygen concentrators with bundle size different pump crates in sea bass nursery ponds

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the efficiency of nano-type oxygen diffusers at different pump power levels in sea bass nursery ponds. The study examines how varying power levels affect dissolved oxygen distribution in the water and their impact on the health, growth, and survival rates of sea bass. The findings indicate that pump power levels influence dissolved oxygen concentration, with the optimal power level improving oxygen distribution in the pond. This enhancement leads to higher survival and growth rates for sea bass. The results provide valuable insights for selecting appropriate oxygen diffusers and pump power levels in fish nursery pond systems. The experiment consisted of two conditions: 1. Without fish – This condition assessed the oxygenation capacity, oxygen transfer coefficient, oxygen transfer rate, and oxygen transfer efficiency of pumps at three different power levels. 2. With fish – This condition evaluated whether the oxygen supplied by pumps at three power levels was sufficient, based on the growth rate and survival rate of the fish in the pond. Blood counts were conducted to assess the immune response. The collected data were statistically analyzed using the RCBD method for the condition without fish and the CRD method for the condition with fish, employing SPSS software.

AfterDay Horizon

The AfterDay Horizon project is a two-player survival game developed to raise awareness of the impact of climate change. It leverages Virtual Reality (VR) technology and a website as gaming platforms. In the game, players experience a world where civilization has collapsed due to global warming, forcing the remaining population to live in bunkers to avoid environmental dangers. AfterDay Horizon focuses on collaboration between the two players to complete various missions that help the bunker’s inhabitants survive as long as possible. These missions are designed to encourage teamwork and decision-making in challenging scenarios, while also raising awareness of the potential consequences of climate change if left unresolved. Preliminary testing of the game showed that players successfully completed the missions and worked well together. However, some missions were complex and time-consuming, indicating areas for improvement to enhance the overall enjoyment and gameplay experience.

Production of Lactic acid bacteria prototype from Thailand for use as probiotics for livestock animals

This research gives a comprehensive overview of the use of antibiotics in livestock production, highlighting both the benefits and the risks associated with their use. The benefits, such as improving immunity, digestion, and reducing infections, are contrasted with the growing concern over antibiotic residues and the development of drug resistance. The shift towards alternatives like probiotics is explored as a sustainable solution, with a specific focus on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) found in the digestive systems of livestock. Thailand’s regulations, which control antibiotic use in animal feed, are also discussed, setting the stage for the study on LAB as a potential replacement for imported probiotics. 1. Use of Antibiotics in Livestock: Antibiotics have been used to promote growth, improve digestion, and prevent infections in livestock. However, the improper use of antibiotics can lead to residues in animal products and the development of drug-resistant bacteria. 2. Global Trends in Antibiotic Use: Many countries, like the European Union and Japan, have banned antibiotics as growth promoters, while others, like China and the U.S., are planning similar bans. 3. Thailand's Approach: Thailand has implemented a regulation since September 2020 to control the use of antibiotics in animal feed, requiring control at both feed mills and farms that mix their own feed. 4. Probiotics as an Alternative: Probiotics, particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), are being studied as an alternative to antibiotics. LAB are naturally found in the digestive tracts of livestock and are considered beneficial for maintaining gut health and replacing the need for antibiotics. The study examines the potential of LAB from Thai livestock (broilers, pigs, and cattle) as a sustainable alternative to imported probiotics, aiming to overcome issues like low survival rates of foreign probiotics in practice.

The development of precision automation system for Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens)

Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) is an ornamental fish that is the first exported economically valuable fish in the country, but there is a limitation to increase the production of betta fish due to climate variability and the shortage of Thai workers. This research aims to develop 2 systems: a betta fish fry nursery system and a market-sized betta fish rearing system by using automated technology to precisely control the water quality in the system and reduce labor costs. Using precise automation consists of two systems: a minimal-waste system, which repurposes some of the waste generated from farming, and a zero-waste system, which treats and recycles all wastewater from farming. These systems aim to address issues related to water quality, animal welfare, and labor requirements in Betta fish farming. Experimental results show that these systems improve Betta fish survival rates by 10-15% compared to traditional methods. When considering net returns, the zero- waste system provides the highest profitability.
