A pioneering system that can automatically count sea lice – and potentially save thousands of man hours, as well as improve fish welfare – is in the running for this year’s Nor Fishing Innovation Award.
New research has revealed that lumpfish exposed to live prey and frozen sea lice prior to transfer to marine sites perform better as cleaner fish once stocked in salmon pens.
A new report shows that ensuring sufficient levels of zinc and long chain omega-3 fatty acids in salmon feed can help improve the gut and gill health of salmon and reduce losses when smolts are transferred to marine sites.
With remote robots set to carry out more and more routine tasks and facial-recognition software being applied to salmon, automation is already making waves in aquaculture. But just how far, and how soon, will AI revolutionise the industry?
