Hatchery Management System — broodstock to PL15 in one workflow
A shrimp or fish hatchery turning 50 million PL per cycle handles more data per day than a 10-pond grow-out farm. Spreadsheets break down by month 2. A proper hatchery management system tracks broodstock pedigree, spawning events, larval water-quality timelines, biosecurity checks, feed protocols and PL grading — all linked back to genetics for next-cycle decisions.
The 5 modules that matter
1) Broodstock register with origin, pedigree, weight, eyestalk-ablation status. 2) Spawning calendar with nauplii counts and fertilisation rates. 3) Larval rearing with stage-wise water-quality (DO, pH, salinity, alkalinity, ammonia) and survival. 4) Feed protocols — artemia, microparticulate, biofloc supplements. 5) PL grading and dispatch with farm-tagged QR codes for traceability.
Biosecurity is the killer feature
WSSV, IHHNV, EHP and TSV can wipe a run in days. A hatchery management system should enforce daily checklist completion (footbath, suit changes, water-source pathogen screening) and lock dispatch if a checklist is incomplete. CAMARON's Hatchery module ships with the OIE-aligned 17-point checklist out of the box.
Pedigree pays compound interest
Tracking which broodstock pairing produced which PL batch — and then which farm cycle that PL batch performed in — is the only way to make data-driven breeding decisions. Within 4 cycles you can typically lift average yield 8-12% by retiring underperforming families.

Does this cover both freshwater fish and shrimp hatcheries?
Yes — module supports tilapia, catfish, carp and shrimp (Vannamei, Monodon) with species-specific water-quality bands.
Can my PL buyers see the pedigree?
Yes via shareable PL batch certificates with QR codes linking to a public traceability page.
Offline support?
Required. Daily larval logs queue in IndexedDB and sync when connectivity returns.
