Food systems management
Aquaculture & Fisheries
Aquaculture & fisheries monitoring keeps culture systems and wild stocks within safe environmental windows. It tracks temperature and salinity for species tolerance, dissolved oxygen to prevent stress and mortality, pH for shell formation and water chemistry, and nutrients and clarity to manage algal blooms and disease risk. Continuous, reliable data support site selection, feeding decisions, aeration or flushing, and regulatory compliance, enabling sustainable harvests while minimizing ecological impact and economic loss.
Aquaculture and fisheries management: essential for global food security and ecosystem health.
Aquaculture is vital for feeding a growing population and reducing pressure on wild fisheries. Effective management depends on accurate monitoring of water quality, fish health, and ecosystem conditions. Tracking parameters like temperature, salinity, oxygen, and turbidity helps prevent disease, optimize growth, and maintain sustainability. By prioritizing data-driven practices, aquaculture supports food security and protects marine and freshwater environments for future generations.
