In aquaculture, lighting isn’t just a utility—it’s a strategic tool. Whether you’re raising cod, tilapia, or catfish, the right lighting can boost growth rates by 30%, reduce mortality, and maximize profits. At LUXCOB, we specialize in custom LED solutions that align with the unique needs of your fish species. Let’s dive into how lighting transforms aquaculture.
1. The Growth Game: Light Cycles That Work
Not all fish are the same. Some thrive under long daylight, while others prefer shorter cycles. Here’s the science:
Cod & Seabream: A 16-hour light, 8-hour dark cycle increases feed efficiency by 22% and speeds up growth (Imsland et al., 2015).
Turbot & Catfish: Shorter cycles (8–12 hours light) reduce stress and prevent cannibalism, saving you money on losses (Migaud et al., 2010).
Our programmable LED systems let you tailor light cycles to your fish’s needs, ensuring optimal growth at every stage.
2. Reproduction Made Easy: Lighting That Triggers Spawning
Want more eggs and healthier fry? Lighting is the key. Research shows:
Tilapia: Under 18-hour daylight, spawning frequency increases by 40% due to higher GnRH and melatonin levels (El-Sayed & Kawanna, 2022).
Atlantic Cod: Shorter cycles prevent delayed spawning and improve egg quality.
Our spectrum-tunable LEDs mimic natural conditions, helping you achieve consistent, high-quality reproduction.
3. Calm Waters: Reducing Stress & Aggression
Bad lighting stresses fish, leading to aggression and cannibalism. For example:
Catfish: Continuous light raises cortisol by 35%, increasing cannibalism (Barcellos et al., 2018).
Cichlids: Short light cycles reduce aggression by lowering GnRH3 levels.
Our dimming-capable LEDs simulate natural dawn and dusk, creating a stress-free environment for your fish.
Why Our LEDs? Because Your Fish Deserve the Best.
Customizable: Tailored spectra for each species (e.g., 600nm red light for seabream).
Energy-Efficient: Save 50% on energy costs compared to traditional lighting.
Durable: IP68-rated for harsh aquaculture environments.
