Reducing Aquaculture Die-offs in Real-time

aquaculture trials of a fluorometer sensor system that can monitor organic matter online, and potentially reduce the risk of these die-offs. The FluoRAS system can potentially categorize and quantify different types of organic matter which accumulate in closed systems. The initial trials, using Chelsea Technologies Group BACTI-Wader Pro, will aim towards a real-time alert system, that gives enough warning time for operators to respond and avoid a potential toxic bacteria outbreak."If successful, the system can also save significant costs on energy consumption.
