iFishIENCi Demonstration Performance (KPIs) for Marine Open Systems

Aquaculture growth demands better and optimized control. Feeding is one of the primary factors that can have significant impact on the cost (more than 40% of the total cost is for feeding), the welfare of the fish (stressed fish due to underfeeding, overfeeding, competition etc) and the environment...

Description
Summary:Aquaculture growth demands better and optimized control. Feeding is one of the primary factors that can have significant impact on the cost (more than 40% of the total cost is for feeding), the welfare of the fish (stressed fish due to underfeeding, overfeeding, competition etc) and the environment (feed waste). Efficiency and cost in aquaculture depend largely on feeding, making it crucial to optimize feeding strategies to reduce feed loss and improve fish health and welfare. Intelligent feeding control that utilizes behavioural changes and growth status is gaining attention as a useful tool for improving husbandry practices. iFishIENCi technologies iBOSS and Fish-Talk-to-Me were demonstrated in open-cages at HCMR in Greece (European seabass) and in Ovum´s open cage system (Atlantic salmon).
