FishFarmFeeder drives public-private collaboration to modernize aquaculture with artificial intelligence

A new project called PREFISHFARM will transform the IRFAP LIMIA production facilities in Puerto de Andratx. This project is a collaboration between two international companies, Aqüicultura Balear, SAU (Cooke Spain) and FishFarmFeeder (Feeding Systems S.L.), together with two research institutions: IRFAP LIMIA and the Institut Mediterrani d’Estudis Avançats (IMEDEA, CSIC-UIB). The project has been selected […]

Breaking new ground in hatchery feeding

Aquaculture continues to position itself as one of the most sustainable solutions to meet the world’s growing demand for protein. Within this sector, hatcheries play an essential role in ensuring the early development of aquatic species, especially in their larval stage. However, feeding live feed (artemia and/or rotifers) at this stage poses significant challenges due to the strict requirements in terms of timing, […]

Types of aquaculture farms

Today’s consumers want to be informed. They want to know the origin of products they buy. The latest reports confirm an increase in fish and seafood farming at levels that already exceed fishing sector. For this reason, we continue with our series of articles on aquaculture. In this case, on aquaculture farms – areas where aquaculture species are […]

Technological implementation and traceability, everyone’s effort.

In modern aquaculture, technological advances are playing a key role in food safety and traceability. The implementation of automated feeding systems, in addition to optimizing production, ensures safety monitoring, allowing fish farmers to operate with greater confidence. These systems thus become an indispensable tool for tracking each stage of the production cycle, ensuring the transparency and security that consumers […]

Fish Feed in Aquaculture

According to the latest FAO reports, aquaculture has surpassed fishing for the first time. Therefore, there is an increasing need to provide more information on how the aquaculture sector works and provide transparency and answers to questions from aquaculture newcomers as well as from the public. This article will focus on fish feed and especially on dry feed, […]

Feed loaders used in aquaculture

Solid pellets are the most common feed used for fish or shrimp growth in aquaculture farms. As the feed is not usually transported to its consumption right after its arrival at the farm, it needs to be stored and just later distributed among the tanks with fish or shrimp, depending on scheduled daily consumption. Therefore, there is a storage place for incoming […]

FCR in Aquaculture

Aquaculture, like any other sector, has its own vocabulary. There are various abbreviations used in the aquaculture, but one of the most important is FCR. Below, we break down the advantages of a low FCR and share information on FCR for farmed species. What is FCR? The FCR (Feed Conversion Rate) is used to measure the efficiency of feed conversion into the animal body mass. In other words, how […]

What areas of aquaculture are changing thanks to the artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising multiple industries, and aquaculture is no exception. This technological revolution, in which Fish Farm Feeder is participating with innovative solutions, is transforming the sector into a smart, precision aquaculture model. Below, we explore how AI, in combination with Machine Learning, is transforming this sector. In which areas of aquaculture a transformation is expected thanks […]

Criteria to maintain feed quality at aquaculture farms

The fish feed must not only satisfy the nutritional requirements of the fish but its physical properties must be such that the feed can be used in modern fish culture systems. Criteria for manufacturing pellets for aquaculture During the manufacturing process, special attention is paid to: hardness of the pellet dust in the feed uniformity of size density that the […]

How to calculate cost savings thanks automating feed supply in aquaculture?

Automating the fish or shrimp feeding process in aquaculture has numerous advantages. However, in order to benefit from them, an economic investment is necessary. Depending on the feeding phase in the aquaculture farm that we want to automate, the return on investment is based on different indicators. They can be calculated directly or indirectly. Direct savings from fish feeding […]
