Hello there! I want to study AI applied to aquaculture! i think that AI is the future and it will be very important know something about it

Do you know any online course? or any website?

Thanks a lot!

Hey Everyone,

Our team is developing a new type of security backed by aquaculture production (fastest growing food sector in the world)

We help producers securitize aspects of their business as a way to get much needed public capital into the industry to help scale regenerative aquaculture ventures.

We’re really interested in getting thoughts / concerns from people who are in the industry to help us build a better product !

Do you think this type of public financing approach would be a benefit for aquaculture?

Edit: we can give more info on what we’ve built so far and be more detailed for anyone interested but wanted to respect rules about self promotion !

Liquidation experts take over troubled US offshore farmer that once had $170m backing The kampachi farmer's investors have brought in the Ravix Group to oversee the company's restructuring, likely signaling the end of its operations...

I have a degree in microbiology and have been working as a microbiologist but am honestly interested in bio and natural resources…

I likely have an interview coming up for entry level fish camp work. (I did a sort of pre-interview over the phone today, and we agreed to move to the next steps.) The pay is honestly kind of bad but I feel like I could actually enjoy the work, even the manual labour aspects. I am hoping to get some aquaculture experience to maybe work as a biologist for an aquaculture company eventually.

How is it living on a fish farm sea camp? I have never had an issue with motion sickness on the ferries here etc, but wondering what it’s like on a sea camp. Is sea sickness a common problem?

For anyone who may have gotten a biology/microbiology kind of degree and worked then chose to change directions to aquaculture and started from the bottom… What kind of timeline could I expect before being able to start moving up? Traditionally I have learnt things very quickly at jobs and end up getting kind of bored once things get too easy so I like to move quick but I realize employers like people to remain in their roles for a while… It is also difficult to start at the bottom considering I was managing a small microbiology lab before, but I have to suck it up I think, lol.

Based on the call I had today, they have had people with a similar background to me before who did that exact path, but I didn’t want to ask how long it took them! But I also want to know what to expect and what I am getting into before signing any contracts, etc!

Anyone know of a Catfish fingerling supplier with availability year-round in the midwest?

We would like to ramp up our quantity of fish in our new commercial aquaponics set-up but cannot find any.

Does the activity of aerators disturb sleep of Vannamei? I might be wrong as aerators are so common especially at night.

Hi everyone!

I've been passionate about both tech and aquaculture my entire life, and now I’m diving into exploring how I can contribute to this incredible industry. My goal is to help farmers focus on what they do best—raising healthy, thriving fish—by addressing areas where tech and systems might make life easier.

That said, I’m still figuring out where I can add the most value. Here are a few areas I’ve been thinking about:

1. Farm Management Software: Streamlining data collection and decision-making through user-friendly systems.

2. Water Quality Monitoring: Automating sensors and alerts to detect issues early and prevent problems.

3. Inventory & Feed Management: Optimizing stock and feed usage to reduce costs and waste.

4. Supply Chain Tracking: Making it easier to trace products from farm to market, enhancing transparency and sustainability.

I’d love to hear from you: What are the biggest pain points in your operation? What tools or improvements would make a meaningful impact? If these areas don’t resonate, I’m eager to learn about the challenges that matter most to you.

thanks in advance for sharing!!

My husband and I are excited to have found this resource. It was an expensive purchase for our budget. Would anyone who has used this plan for their system give us their opinion?

There are black spots everywhere and clarias are dying every day. they are about 200-250 gram in size.
Currently the pond has a DO of 19 mg/L, temperature 23* C, ph 8, ammonia 0.5 ppm.

We have used geolite to control ammonia, tetracycline for antibiotic needs, sokrina for probiotic needs.

we use water exchanging for controlling temperature or cleaning pond. There are no other filters in place.

Not sure what are these black spots on top.

I have an interview in one week, and im planning on starting ASAP, im trying to start as a general hand, Is there any information yall can give that I may have missed about the posistion and what the pay may be like in east Texas, of course im going to get a haircut, maybe shave, and get some proper clothes on, but I'm curious on what yall would want to hear from your new hires, I am 21, and have been working at a gas station for a while, though I want to take schooling for aquaculture I also learn better with first hand experience.

So if you got anything it would be appreciated greatly

(I didn't get the job)

anyone have good ideas i can delve on for an undergrad thesis that is related to aquaculture? initially i have chosen to study something dna barcoding-related in fish species but reading about how aquaculture is booming the past few years (in connection to our depleting wild fish stock) got me interested on this matter.

Hi all I am new here and have 0 experience in fish famring. I am interested in growing fish for my own consumption and may be friends and family. Can I start something very small at my home or backyard? How cheap i can get started ? Or are there usually regulations that prevent such thing?

I am looking for a solid aquaculture supplier. I run a trout hatchery in california and our main supplier is closing (Eager) . Things like egg jars, nets, scales, brushes,ect.. Who do you all use?

I got a small teacher grant and purchased this for my classroom: https://www.amazon.com/stores/AquaSprouts/AquaSprouts/page/E5EAACA4-F1B7-4637-BA0A-EC553E2982D8?ref_=cm_sw_r_ud_ast_store_P09PQVH5E43SGDBZ7HR7&store_ref=bl_ast_dp_brandLogo_sto

What kind and how many fish, crustaceans and plants should I buy for inside the tank? What kind of easy water testing kit (my students are 2-5th grade) should I buy? What chemicals will I need? Do I need a bottom filter (one of the reviews on Amazon recommended it)? Would spinach and lettuces be good to grow on top (we can share with our classroom bunny)? Any other supplies? I’m a science teacher but don’t have much experience with aquariums.

I started a desk top RAS tank in my apartment growing tomatoes up top using LECA balls as a substrate. I didn’t know that it would raise my pH significantly but it sits around 8.4 right now. The shrimp and snails and plants in the tank are thriving and reproducing but I don’t want to add fish until i can get the pH back down. I read mixed things about using peat moss and the ethics involved in peat moss harvesting but believe that if I were to create a layer of a peat moss filter to treat the water before it falls back into the tank it could get my pH back to levels where I can introduce fish. Any ideas or alternatives that anyone can recommend are welcome. I would rather not switch to a new substrate for the tomatoes because they are pretty well established.

Hello everyone, how is it going?

Today I made a siphoning on my Artemia franciscana culture, a thing necessary even under an RAS arrangement. Then, after the residue was decanted, I got this and put it on dechlorinated freshwater. Besides this, I also washed the sponge filter under this water. With this water, is possible to reuse it for watering non-edible plants or would it not be safe?

Thanks for your attention!
