With the advent of the 5G era, the extensive application of information technology such as the Internet of Things, smart devices, and big data in aquaculture has allowed my country’s aquaculture to develop from a traditional empirical breeding model to a scientific, intelligent and sustainable breeding model. The fishery industry is entering the era of wisdom, and my country is also changing from a big fishery country to a smart fishery country.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that by 2030, the world's demand for seafood will increase by 40%. Traditional fish farms are generally placed in shallow water near the coast, where they can not only avoid the invasion of bad weather, but also facilitate fish feeding and maintenance. However, this method of fish farming can cause diseases to spread among animals, and excrement may also pollute the ocean. Therefore, future farming must be far away from the coast to ensure clean sea water and healthy fish. Deep-sea aquaculture can provide fish with cleaner, free-flowing seawater and natural food, and the fish produced therefrom are more delicious. Deep waters are generally inaccessible places, so more "smart" and more automated farming becomes the key to this fish farming method.
Industry pain points
The daily management of traditional deep-sea farms is not related to informatization. It relies on manual experience and has low production efficiency; deep-sea farms are far away from the land, and transmission network cables cannot be deployed; 4G signal bandwidth is insufficient to meet the requirements of large-band video digital measurement and control technology need.
The 5G deep-sea aquaculture remote monitoring solution installs water quality monitors, underwater cameras, lighting, automatic feeding and other equipment in the deep-sea aquaculture cages. Using 5G networks, smart devices can realize the water temperature, salinity, pH value, and dissolved oxygen in the aquaculture. Real-time online monitoring of environmental data; underwater cameras can track, record and store the daily activities, eating conditions, and disease occurrence of individual aquatic animals, and provide effective evidence for the traceability of the industry chain; automatic feeding system, combined with large breeding Data, AI camera evaluates the growth curve of aquatic animals, intelligently regulates the feeding amount, and ensures high-efficiency feeding.
