Remote-controlled underwater vehicles (ROVs) are contributing to Skretting's services to customers, allowing instantaneous monitoring of different environmental parameters, such as temperature and oxygen levels of water at different depths, in order to detect anomalies in advance and consequently develop an early response that will prevent losses in the water.
The most recent addition to Skretting's service offering is a project with Nido Robotics, a tech company based in the Science Park of Murcia, Spain. This was announced recently in Lorca, Spain during a meeting with 80% of the producers of seabass and sea bream in fish farm. The ROVs will produce underwater recordings of high resolution digital video. Skretting Spain is also employing drone services for aerial inspection.
'This service is mainly focused on optimising the feeding process, but it will also allow us to detect possible pathologies or anomalous situations in the farms, and to alert the client to enable an early response to an potential challenge' says Juan Antonio González, Models and Services Manager for Skretting Southern Europe.
The use of this technology in Spain is another step forward after the successful implementation of ROVs and drones in Chile.
'We regularly use drones to clarify specific questions, and cross check information regarding appetite or FCR,' says Rodrigo González, Information Product Manager for Skretting Chile. 'The ROVs we use analyse behaviour inside pens and feeding shoals to detect any anomalies in fish behaviour. This means that we can offer relevant information to our customers in a timely way. We currently work with 12 customers using ocean pens.'
