A salmon can’t pick up and drop its supper dish like a dog, so how do you know if they are hungry? It’s an important question in aquaculture, and by using a combination of audio sensors and artificial intelligence, the Smart System for Feeding Control … Continue reading How listening to salmon helps feed them more efficiently
While ocean-based fish farms do help take pressure off of wild stocks, they have eco-unfriendly drawbacks of their own. A new underwater robot is being designed to address that situation, by autonomously inspecting the fish and their pens.Continue Read… Continue reading Underwater robot designed to keep tabs on fish farms
Although ingesting nutrients in tablet form is better than nothing, nutrients are best absorbed by our bodies if they’re part of the foods that we eat. With that in mind, scientists have recently created a supplement for shellfish that radically boosts… Continue reading Super-supplemented shellfish found to be rich in vitamins
In recent years, fish farms have increasingly started using underwater ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) for cleaning the nets that enclose their fish pens. A relatively new one, the StealthCleaner, has a unique triangular form factor.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Triangular ROV cleans up fish farm nets
Marine aquaculture pens have to be regularly checked for holes, plus the fish need to be inspected for disease or parasites. And although the job is typically performed by human divers, it turns out that a robotic sea turtle may be a better choice for … Continue reading Robotic sea turtle shows promise as fish farm inspector
It’s vitally important to monitor the water quality of fish farms, as problems such as pollution can quickly prove disastrous. A small new floating cube was designed with this in mind, as it continuously tracks multiple factors.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Little sensor cube could make a big difference at fish farms
Killing up to 200,000 people annually, schistosomiasis is one of the most deadly parasitic diseases in the world, second only to malaria. Soon, however, prawn aquaculture could be used to control the snails that spread it – and to provide rev… Continue reading Prawn aquaculture could provide income – while stopping disease-spreading snails
