The aquaculture industry is undergoing a technological revolution and new innovative equipment is changing the face of the industry. Recently, a number of aquatic technology companies have launched several devices that not only improve the efficiency of farming, but also greatly reduce the environmental impact.
Today, let's take a look at these "black tech" devices and see how they can change the future of fishing!
Harbor Electric Fence technology: Keep predators at bay
Highlight: Environmental protection, high efficiency, low cost
In Marine culture, jellyfish often become the "uninvited guest" of the farm, jellyfish will hurt the fish body, but also cause disease, will cause huge economic losses to the farm.
Millions of fish were killed after the Scottish farms of global salmon farming giant Mowi were hit by a massive invasion of jellyfish caused by warmer water temperatures.
Now, electric fence technology developed by Harbor, a Norwegian aquatic technology company, offers an innovative solution to this problem.
The electric fence technology creates an invisible barrier by placing a low-intensity electric field underwater to keep creatures like jellyfish away.
This technology not only effectively protects farmed fish, but also reduces the dependence on chemical drugs and reduces environmental pollution. More importantly, the installation and maintenance cost of the electric fence is much lower than that of the traditional protective net, which is called the "Gospel" for farmers.
Automatic cage cleaning robot: say goodbye to tedious, embrace efficient
Highlights: Automation, precise cleaning, saving manpower
One of the most costly and difficult problems with cage farming is cleaning cages. The cage is not clean for a long time will accumulate a lot of biological dirt, such as algae and shellfish. These dirt will hinder the smooth flow of water, not only lead to a decline in water quality, but also easy to breed bacteria and parasites, which will affect the growth of fish.
The traditional manual cleaning method is time-consuming and laborious, and the effect is not ideal.
In response to this problem, Lindgren-Pitman, an American fishing equipment manufacturer, introduced a novel cage cleaning robot Stingray E230.
It automatically identifies dirt on the cage and cleans it with high pressure water or a mechanical brush. The whole process does not require manual intervention, which saves manpower, improves cleaning efficiency, and can also protect fishing nets.
Field acoustic tests have shown that the device avoids the high decibel noise generated and reduces stress responses to fish when cleaning cages. You can kill many birds with one stone.
Remote-controlled robots Chasing X: "All-powerful stewards" for farms
Highlights: Multi-function, strong stability, real-time monitoring
Chasing X is a multi-functional remote-controlled robot designed specifically for the aquaculture industry, created by Chasing and Pufab Aqua Tech AS.
Used to monitor water quality, fish health and facility conditions, the robot is able to go deep underwater and can work at a depth of 350 meters, taking clear pictures to help farming companies monitor underwater environments and facilities in real time.
In addition, Chasing X is very stable and can be operated accurately even in strong current environments. It is also equipped with two 6,000-lumen LED lights, which solve the problem of poor underwater light.
With Chasing X, farmers can more easily manage their farms and improve fish survival and growth rates.
From electric fences to cage cleaning robots to remote-controlled robots, these new devices are revolutionizing the aquaculture industry.
In the future, with the continuous progress of technology, we believe that more innovative equipment will emerge to further promote the development of aquaculture industry.
