Mobile quantitative feeding-spraying integrated system and method for aquaculture
A mobile quantitative feeding-spraying integrated system and method. The system includes at least one hull equipped with a propeller, a feeder housing fixedly arranged on the hull, a feed box arranged on the feeder housing, a flip assembly provided at an upper end of the feed box, a blanking device arranged in the feeder housing to quantitatively control the bait blanking amount, a casting device and a spraying device. An upper end of the blanking device is a feeding end, which supports and is connected to the lower end of the feed box. A lower end of the blanking device is the discharging end. An upper side of the casting device is connected with the lower end of the blanking device, and the lower side of the casting device is provided with a discharging end facing the aquaculture water body.
FEED CONSUMPTION MONITORING SYSTEM
A feed consumption monitoring system for monitoring and controlling the quantity of feed introduced to an aquaculture environment. The system includes utilization of a high contrast surface, which receives a supply of running water containing a quantity of feed particles, a camera assembly to capture images of the high contrast surface upon its contact with the supply of running water, and a mount assembly to support the foregoing components, and the system may also include a lighting assembly to illuminate the high contrast surface as well as a software component to analyze such images to determine whether the quantity of feed in the supply of running water is suboptimal.

MULTI-PHASIC INTEGRATED SUPER-INTENSIVE SHRIMP PRODUCTION SYSTEM
A method for shrimp aquaculture, in which, all growth phases and essential operations are modularized and integrated to form a multi-phasic synchronous super-intensive shrimp production system controlled by a custom designed cyber-physical platform. Modular components include, for example, post-larvae nursery modules, grow-out production modules, recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) modules, feed distribution modules, and regulatory elements comprised of Program Logic Controllers (PLCs) integrated with Human Interface Modules (HIMs).
Aquaculture system with improved feed transportation and method for transporting feed in an aquaculture system
An aquaculture system including a fish holding unit which is fluidly connected to a water recirculation conduit, a water treatment unit, a water inlet, and a feed storage unit. The system further includes a feed loading section. When feed is added into the system at the feed loading section it is transported to the fish holding unit. In another aspect the invention relates to a method of transporting a feed in a recirculated aquaculture system.

Automated camera positioning for feeding behavior monitoring
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable storage media, for automated camera positioning for feeding behavior monitoring. In some implementations, a system obtains an image of a scene from one or more cameras and a spatial model that corresponds to a subfeeder. The system determines, based on data from the spatial model and the image of the scene, a current position of the one or more cameras relative to the subfeeder. The system selects an updated position of the one or more cameras relative to the subfeeder. The system moves the one or more cameras to the updated position. In some implementations, the system dynamically selects the updated position of the one or more cameras relative to the subfeeder.
