Objective
Live food production in intensive marine fish hatcheries comprises of repetitive manual tasks that could be performed by specialised automated equipment. High use of manpower for repetitive work may result in frequent human errors, delays in specific production phases, and poor efficiency of the unit. Such problems may affect the productivity of the hatchery with respect to both quantity and quality of live feed and fry.
The proposed project aims at developing an innovative fully automated system for the continuous production of phytoplankton (algae) as live feed in aquaculture hatcheries. This system will guarantee optimal microclimatic and nutritional conditions for the stable growth of algae by using both natural and artificial illumination and controlling the temperature, the nutrient content, the pH and the CQ concentration of the water. Locally adapted cultures of live feed and local climatic conditions will be taken into account for designing such a system.
