Morefish Toolbox is an AI-based welfare tool designed to reduce mortality in the aquaculture industry. The goal of this RFF-funded project is to explore the potential of combining real-time data, big data, and fish physiology using artificial intelligence.
The project aims to link real-time data on water quality and fish physiology to better understand how fish respond to rapid environmental changes. By combining advanced water quality sensors with new diagnostic tools for analyzing biomarkers in fish blood, it will be possible to directly monitor physiological responses and predict fish performance during environmental transitions.
Real-time monitoring represents a radical innovation in fish welfare management, moving beyond the current system of monthly veterinary inspections and laboratory analyses of tissue samples — which are costly, time-consuming, and often disconnected from environmental conditions.
In this particular project the main goal is to messure how water quality impacts smoltification by using real-time data and biomarkers.
