The present invention relates to a system and a method of manufacturing and preparing feed as well as a feed product for farmed animals in an aquaculture environment, including but not limited to fish, shrimps, and crabs. The method of manufacturing the aquaculture feed includes the steps of providing water, a fatty acid component, a protein source, and a feed stabiliser. The feed stabiliser is contacted with the fatty acid component. The feed stabiliser is contacted with the water. The feed stabiliser and water is heated. The feed stabiliser, the fatty acid component, the protein source, and the water is mixed and shaped into a dough. The dough is cooled to obtain the aquaculture feed.

Generating consensus biomass estimates include providing a first biomass parameter data set associated with a first biomass attribute parameter to a first biomass estimation model and providing a second biomass parameter data set associated with a second biomass attribute parameter to a second biomass estimation model different from the first biomass estimation model. The first biomass estimation model is adaptively weighted with a first weighting factor relative to a second weighting factor for the second biomass estimation model. An aggregated biomass estimate is determined based on a combination of the first biomass estimation model using the first weight factor and the second biomass estimation model using the second weight factor.

The subject matter of this disclosure relates to a system and a method for biomass detection and feed control in an aquaculture environment. An example computer-implemented method includes: providing a feed supply for an aquaculture cage containing a plurality of fish; obtaining data derived from one or more sensors disposed on or within the aquaculture cage; using one or more machine learning models that receive the data as input and provide as output a determination of at least one of a fish biomass, a fish biomass distribution, or a fish satiation level for the aquaculture cage; and based on the determination from the one or more machine learning models, controlling an amount of feed delivered to the aquaculture cage from the feed supply.

Techniques and systems for robotic aquaculture are described. In one embodiment, for example, a mariculture system may include an aquatic animal containment system operative to hold a population of aquatic animals, the aquatic animal containment system comprising an enclosed hull having a receptacle configured to receive a mechanical core, the mechanical core configured to store at least one sub-system to implement at least one function of mariculture system, and a position management system operative to maintain the enclosed hull at a depth below a surface of a body of water. Other embodiments are described.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for controlling a camera to observe aquaculture feeding behavior. In some implementations, a method includes moving a camera to a first position, obtaining an image captured by the camera at the first position, determining a feeding observation mode, and based on the feeding observation mode and analysis of the image, determining a second position to move the camera.

The invention relates to a solution that enables optimized regulation of feeding rates in aquaculture systems. The invention involves a feed detector shaped as a pipe segment that can be directly installed as a pipe socket in an outlet pipe of an aquaculture system. The feed detector comprises a pipe segment, radiation means and detection means.
