Europe’s Seafood Farmers Get Boost from AI Research
Otherwise, if the fish are full the excess feed will sink to the bottom and then we have a problem,” Gröndahl says.On land, AI also can be used for balance and control of water quality to prevent anoxic death of fish being raised in enclosed systems.The work also enables synergies with the energy sector, where interest is growing in combining offshore wind parks with seaweed farming. In these kinds of scenarios, sea drones can also be used for more continuous monitoring of windmill and wave energy, which take a beating in the harsh conditions of the ocean. “We are trying to find ways to
