By knowing the number of specimens, Derwent will facilitate the processes in marine cages, allow precision feeding by being able to adapt the speed of food supply, providing information on the stages of maturation and population and proposing improvements based on forecasts, moving into a predictive model. This will mean the possibility of anticipating unforeseen events, thus improving animal welfare, better conditions throughout the breeding cycle and a more efficient management of natural and economic resources, thus taking a step forward for Dibaq Aquaculture&#8217;s consumer customers. Now it\u2019s time for Precision Aquaculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Counting specimens contained in cages represents an historical problem in the industry. Traditionally, calculation of biomass is carried out by estimations based on the measurement of the whole by technological systems from the fishing industry or by visual counting estimations. These methodologies operate with high percentages of deviation that lead to inaccuracies in key elements for the correct management of these farms. Overfeeding, derived from these deviations, causes the loss of food, which is deposited on the bottom, attracting other species, including predators that cause the death by stress of specimens in the cage, the proliferation of unwanted slime and other derived problems of overfeed. These points have direct impact on performance and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Problems from these techniques applied to the particular case of aquaculture cages is that they offer approximate precision. In this regard, the device designed by Derwent will achieve a measurement with an accuracy of over 90%. This data will provide a more accurate view of the existing biomass in the cage and, together with the high-quality Dibaq Aquaculture feed, will allow better management in terms of feeding, farm performance, population density, animal welfare, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project has successfully completed an initial proof-of-concept phase in which the potential of this solution has been seen for the specific case of biomass estimation in aquaculture cages. This initial phase of development, already concluded, has involved an investment of more than \u20ac 150,000 and has lasted for 12 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are collaborating with the company Lucentia Lab to carry out the development of the Bioscanner project, which will culminate in the launch of a biomass counting system for aquaculture <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3118,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
