In this presentation, we explore the critical role of data collection and analysis in aquaculture, particularly under the challenges posed by the availability of workforce and climate changes. With the need for efficient operations and stock high mortality rates, the focus is on how startups , like New Zealand’s Mussel App, are helping to improve aquaculture management. We present the journey of Mussel App in simplifying the complex lives of skippers and operational managers, emphasising the importance of data-driven decision-making for improving operational efficiency and stock survival rates. The presentation will illustrate the successes and challenges faced by startups , present New Zealand’s aquaculture ecosystem and demonstrate the startup’s significant contributions to enhancing sustainability and productivity in the aquaculture industry.
