Under the impact of global climate change and human activities, harmful organisms such as seal lice and algae, are costing billions in damages and losses for the aquaculture industry worldwide. Aquaculture operators have to make decisions every day about the health and wellbeing of their stock, including dealing with environmental hazards outside of their control. When a harmful event occurs, farm operators have to decide how best to mitigate loss of fish stock. These mitigation strategies are costly, and the tools currently available to the industry don’t provide the much needed information in a timely and cost-effective manner. In partnership with key players within the market (e.g. AcuaNativa, Universidad Austral de Chile, OTAQ), Blue Lion Labs is developing cost-effective solutions that will enable farm operators to continuously monitor organisms such as sea lice larvae and algae. We are building a solution that will replace manual, time consuming processes with automated equipment and machine learning software that will automatically process a water sample, analyze it and report the results to the farm operator in a consistent and reliable manner. With this proactive solution, operators will be able to trigger equipment such as netting or bubble curtains, or monitor the effectiveness of feed supplements in order to mitigate harmful events and prevent the loss of fish stock. All this combined, will lead to healthier and more resilient oceans around the world, as well as more sustainable aquaculture farming practices.
