An aquaculture system can include an aquafarm with one or more aquatic pods of aquatic organisms and a remote device to manage the aquafarm. An aquatic pod may be associated with an aquatic structure with a buoyancy system and a control device to automatically perform daily farming functions. The aquatic structure may include an enclosure to hold the aquatic organisms. The control device may be configured to use a smart buoyancy assistant to control the buoyancy system and to determine the farming task to perform in response to environmental stimuli. The remote device can receive data representing crop metrics, harvest results, and sensor data. The remote device can aggregate data from multiple aquatic pods and correlate the data to generate aquaculture models to improve the harvest results. The remote device can generate overview and maintenance reports for the aquafarm.

A vessel for farming of marine organisms includes several tanks with seawater and the marine organisms that shall be farmed, where the tanks include a farming net cage that holds the marine organisms and where the tanks are open to the surrounding seawater.

Open-sea aquaculture systems and methods are provided, which employ a semisubmersible platform with vertical columns, having storage and maintenance facilities for supporting aquaculture. Systems comprise a rigid assembly of aquaculture cages, with vertical cavities having forms configured to receive the corresponding vertical columns of the semisubmersible platform. The rigid assembly is mechanically connected to the semisubmersible platform in operational positions: (i) a raised position in which the rigid assembly encloses the corresponding vertical columns in the vertical cavities to limit a horizontal movement of the rigid assembly, and (ii) a lowered position in which the rigid assembly is below the corresponding vertical columns. Systems further comprise a control unit configured to control the mechanical position control mechanism to lower the rigid assembly upon occurrence of specified rough sea conditions, or whenever needed, and to raise the rigid assembly upon specified conditions.

It is disclosed a device for controlling and/or euthanizing vermin or pests for preventing such vermin or pests from entering into a geographical area or into a building, wherein the device comprises at least one completely or partially uninsulated electrically conducting wire or conductor connected to an electrical current source, providing controlled electrical pulses to said conductor or wire in the form of pulses or pulse trains. The device may be used in a method for controlling the access of pests/vermin to a geographical location, building or property wherein the electrically conducting wire(s) lead(s) an electrical current with an amperage of not less than 0.0001 A. The device and method is particularly suited for removing/controlling pests/vermin on land.

A fish monitoring system deployed in a particular area to obtain fish images is described. Neural networks and machine-learning techniques may be implemented to periodically train fish monitoring systems and generate monitoring modes to capture high quality images of fish based on the conditions in the determined area. The camera systems may be configured according to the settings, e.g., positions, viewing angles, specified by the monitoring modes when conditions matching the monitoring modes are detected. Each monitoring mode may be associated with one or more fish activities, such as sleeping, eating, swimming alone, and one or more parameters, such as time, location, and fish type.

The present disclosure relates to an automatically sinking cage net system, comprising: the cage net body includes a floating frame and a net body; a working platform including an accelerometer, a first processing module and a first wireless communication module; a floating barrel, at least having a first opening, a gas flow controller, a water level sensor, a programmable control module, a second processing module, a second wireless communication module and a second opening; and a marine environment monitoring system, including a human-machine interface, a marine environment monitoring module, a data storage module, a third processing module, and a third wireless communication module; wherein the first wireless communication module, the second wireless communication module and the third wireless communication module are in signal connection with each other. The present disclosure provides an automatically sinking cage net system to improve the conventional shortcomings caused by manual operation.

A system for cultivating a large quantity of oysters is disclosed herein. The system includes a device that can be placed either on the seabed or the surface of a water environment. The device may be placed at either location and may also be placed further offshore and still be safe from extreme weather conditions. As a result, the benefits of each location are implemented into the system. The system includes an oyster cultivating device including a rectangular frame holding various crates with multiple internal baffles or dividers, and an attached buoyant member for keeping the cultivating frame at or near the surface of the water. The crates are placed such that they fill the volume within the rectangular frame. A buoyant member is then placed on the top end of the rectangular frame. The system provides increased agitation capabilities for oysters to provide a larger and rounder cultivated oyster.
