In one aspect, there is provided a method that includes receiving, by a control system having (i) a first camera configured to obtain an image of a scene, (ii) a winch controller, and (iii) a feeding system configured to deliver a feed to aquaculture, instructions to initiate a calibration of the first camera, determining a calibration state of the first camera, determining a sequence of calibration steps based on the calibration state of the first camera, and executing the sequence of calibration steps to calibrate the first camera.

A low head oxygenator system includes one or more chambers, each of the one or more chambers having an open top and one or more distribution plates, each distribution plate disposed over the open top of a corresponding one of the one or more chambers. Each of the one or more distribution plates has a predetermined number of orifices uniformly distributed within one or more zones of the respective distribution plate and no orifices in at least one remaining zone of the respective distribution plate. The oxygenator system further includes a container, disposed on top of the one or more distribution plates, and configured to allow a liquid contained in the container to flow through the orifices of the one or more distribution plates into the one or more chambers. Further, use of the distribution plate frees up the head-space region for a scrubbing insert configured to perform stripping.

The present invention relates to a method of raising fish in a recirculated aquaculture system which includes a fish holding unit in fluid communication with a water supply, the fish holding unit containing a volume of water defining a water depth, and having an osmotic concentration, an oxygen concentration, a temperature, and a pH. The method includes providing a flow of non-recirculated water to the water supply, the non-recirculated water being different from the water in the fish holding unit with respect to the osmotic concentration, the oxygen concentration, the CO2 concentration, the N2 concentration, the NH4+ concentration, the temperature and/or the pH, providing feed pellets, adding the feed pellets to the non-recirculated water and hydraulically transporting the feed pellets to the fish holding unit. The invention also relates to a RAS facility.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for sensor data processing. The method may include the actions of obtaining sensor data regarding aquatic livestock over periods of time, where the sensor data is captured by at least one sensor at different depths, determining, for each of the periods of time, whether the sensor data captured at different depths during the period of time satisfy one or more evaluation criteria, generating an input data set that concatenates representations of the periods of time, providing the input data set to a machine-learning trained model, receiving, as an output from the machine-learning trained model, an indication of an action to be performed for the aquatic livestock, and initiating performance of the action for the aquatic livestock.
