The paddlewheel aerator is one of the supporting facilities in the intensive aquaculture pond system. Assuming all the land uses an intensive cultivation system, more than two million paddlewheels worth more than 10 trillion will be needed by 2024. Currently, all paddlewheels are produced abroad or imported. This is very unfortunate considering the vast market potential. This paper discussed a preliminary study of developing paddlewheel aeration for shrimp ponds using an integrated intelligent aquaculture system to support intensification. Two paddlewheel aerators with modifications in the gearbox have been successfully installed. Based on the observation and user’s testimony, the newly installed paddlewheel was quite good, the sound of the motor was smooth, then the flow range was longer, the coverage area was more expansive than the existing waterwheel. This research would be a foundation for intelligent paddlewheel aeration design that can be developed domestically to support local industry in Indonesia.
