ARTICLE 68 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE December 2022 INTELLIGENCE IN OPEN SEA AQUACULTURE AI Enabling Seafood Sustainability “Fish farming is entering a new phase in which daily decisions must be based on actual data and analytics rather than prior experience, a gut sense, and best predictions. Farmers are saving money, decreasing fatalities, and becoming more efficient by embracing new tools and technologies to better understand their complicated operations.” As the world population approaches 10 billion and food preferences to shift toward more protein-rich diets, food consumption will nearly double by 2050. The FAO forecasts a 37% increase in aquaculture production from 2016 to 2030, reaching 109 million tonnes per year. Aquaculture is now and will continue to be a key business in meeting the growing demand for high-quality proteins. Open ocean aquaculture is the future of sustainable seafood production, and sea cage farming is considered as a major option for increasing seafood production, and it has been quickly expanding at the worldwide level in recent years. The novel, end-to-end solutions and services are being developed ranging from site selection to underwater feeding and high-tech environmental monitoring focusing on ‘Precision aquaculture’, an innovative, comprehensive approach to fish farming that combines emerging technologies to help you optimize operations and make data-driven choices in real time. AQUACULTURE MEETS MACHINE LEARNING! Integrated solutions utilizing a combination of smart sensors, high definition cameras, artificial R.
