Aquaculture for all

The Athens Sessions

Episode 6 John Costantino - The Athens Sessions

Costatino explains how farms can get more value from the data they collect – moving from spreadsheets and raw sensor feeds to actionable insights on growth, health and disease risk.

Speaking to The Fish Site's Moritz Mueller, Costatino outlines Manolin's journey from data collection to becoming a 'risk intelligence platform' for aquaculture. He highlights how predictive analytics can help salmon farmers prevent losses, why fragmented feed formulation data is holding the sector back, and what's needed to extend these tools to shrimp, sea bream and other species.

He also shares three simple steps any farmer can take before adopting new technology: start recording mortality and stocking data, learn basic analysis tools, and only then engage with tech providers.

The Fish Site team discusses some of the most pressing issues facing the aquaculture industry – and the innovative ways of tackling these issues – with a selection of the sector’s pre-eminent figures at DSM-Firmenich’s recent Global Aqua Days event in Vienna.

The series of interviews gives a broad range of perspectives – from shrimp farmers looking to improve their production skills; to sectoral trends from leading industry analysts; to the scientists who are working to improve the nutrition, health and welfare of fish and shrimp. Available in video and podcast formats, this is an exclusive opportunity to learn directly from the experts themselves.
