WP6 - Marine Technologies for Precision and Sustainable Aquaculture (TECMAPS)

Objectives

Objective 6.1

Technologically enhance Real-Time Monitoring and Supervision, based on Sensor Networks, IoT, AI and Robotics.

Connection with the lines of action of the national plan

Action 2.11: Improving knowledge on the welfare of cultured fish and developing systems to continuously and reliably monitor (i) new welfare indicators under normal culture conditions and during the slaughter process (where appropriate) and (ii) developing strategies to improve feed intake and utilisation, growth, reproduction and health status (susceptibility to disease) of cultured fish.
Action 2.17: Development and application of new technological solutions (biosensors, IoT, buoys, underwater robots, wireless signal transmission in the marine environment, improved oxygenation and fluid dynamics, passive waste samplers, machine learning, etc.) for the automation of the maintenance of farming infrastructures and the digitisation and modelling of fish and shellfish production in different production systems. It includes i) integration of the results of omics, technological and environmental platforms for a more detailed knowledge of the effects of climate change on farming in order to mitigate carbon emissions, leakages, eutrophication and pollution of the marine environment and ii) proof of concept of new engineering solutions (adapted at regional level) to mitigate the effects of climate change (increased frequency of storms, DANAs, etc.) on aquaculture infrastructures and production.
