The future of aquaculture. New fish farming technologies
Did you know that aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production sector In the world? This is as a result of seafood being one of those rare types of food that is very useful to humans and at the same time easily scalable in production. With the help of innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence and microscopic fungi, almost every country with access to the sea will be able to completely solve the issue of its own seafood shortage. And today we will look at exactly how advanced technologies will help feed the entire planet. People have been going to the sea for food since ancient times. In the last century, fishing has become so widespread that hundreds of marine life species have become endangered. Thus, according to The International Union for the Conservation of Nature, more than 90 species of fish, including sharks, rays, and other cartilaginous fish, are at risk in European waters alone. As Nicholas Dulvy, a marine ecologist at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada, points out "There's been no effective movement on fisheries management in the Mediterranean in the last decade". To make matters worse, different countries have various fishing laws and what is prohibited in one country may easily be allowed in another. This results in fishing boats being able to catch even illegal fish species and simply sell them on another market. #inventions #technology #fishfarm #ocean If you are the author of the materials or the copyright owner of it, but your authorship was not indicated or you object to its use, please contact me: titosaleksyt@gmail.com Don’t miss next videos: Press the little bell ((🔔)) to get notifications Production Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/
The future of aquaculture. New fish farming technologies
Aquaculture and Advanced Technologies
The discussion explores the significance of aquaculture as the fastest-growing food production sector globally, driven by the scalability of seafood production aided by innovative technologies like artificial intelligence.
Aquaculture's Impact on Seafood Production
- Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector globally due to seafood's high utility and scalability.
Challenges in Fisheries Management
- Overfishing has led to endangerment of marine species, with more than 90 fish species at risk in European waters alone.
- Inconsistent fishing laws across countries enable illegal fishing practices, threatening marine ecosystems.
Role of Aquaculture in Conservation
- Aquaculture helps slow down extinction rates but also consumes other marine species intensively.
- Siwa Tech AB proposes a solution using microscopic fungi grown on industrial waste for fish feed, addressing waste disposal and food sourcing issues.
Innovations in Fish Farming
This section delves into technological advancements revolutionizing fish farming practices to enhance efficiency and sustainability.
Addressing Feeding Challenges in Aquaculture
- Siwa Tech AB's technology grows microscopic fungi on industrial waste for fish feed, reducing reliance on marine life for feeding.
Cost Reduction Strategies in Fish Farming
- Apollo Aquaculture Group introduces vertical eight-story fish farms to reduce operating costs through innovative systems like Aqua Deck for water renewal.
Technological Innovations for Efficiency
- Biosort startup's iFarm project utilizes AI and machine learning to monitor individual fish health parameters, aiming to improve welfare and reduce maintenance costs.
Beginning of iFarm System Development
The discussion revolves around the initial stages of developing the iFarm system for fish farming and the potential impact on aquaculture.
Initial Testing Phase (2021-2025)
- The development phase after monitoring fish conditions involves creating technologies for individual fish capture, treatment, or sale.
- Testing of the iFarm system commenced in 2021 on a marine farm with 150,000 salmon, scheduled to continue until 2025.
Technological Advancements and Market Entry
- The company aims to collect data, optimize algorithms, and enhance fish farm efficiency during the testing period.
- Introduction of three innovative technologies: addressing feeding issues, reducing operational costs, and enhancing production efficiency.
Potential Revolution in Aquaculture
- Global adoption of these technologies could revolutionize aquaculture processes and seafood production efficiency significantly.
- Addressing ecological concerns related to fish extinction through advanced developments in every existing fish farm poses a challenge to humanity's implementation capabilities.
Challenges and Future Prospects
Delving into the challenges associated with implementing advanced aquaculture technologies across existing fish farms while seeking opinions on this transformative process.
Implementation Challenges
- Questioning humanity's ability to implement advanced developments across all existing fish farms globally.
