Problem
Biofouling in fish farming pens leads to reduced water flow, increased infection pressure, and potential equipment failure, negatively impacting fish health and increasing operational costs. Current antifouling solutions are often costly, inefficient, and harmful to the environment.
Solution
Remora Robotics offers a fully autonomous submarine robot designed to clean and inspect fish farming pens while collecting environmental data. The robot proactively prevents biofouling, improving water flow and oxygen content within the pen, which reduces the need for chemical treatments and minimizes infection pressure. During its daily operation, the robot scans the entire net structure and gathers essential data from various depths, providing detailed insights into the pen's aquatic environment. This enables preventative maintenance and optimized operations for fish farmers.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes fish farmers and aquaculture operators seeking to improve fish welfare, reduce operational costs associated with biofouling, and minimize the environmental impact of their operations.
Features
- Autonomous navigation and cleaning of fish pen nets
- Integrated sensors for real-time monitoring of water quality parameters (e.g., oxygen levels, temperature)
- High-resolution net scanning for early detection of damage and biofouling accumulation
- Data analytics platform providing trend analysis and predictive maintenance alerts
- Remote monitoring and control via a user-friendly interface
- Automated reporting on net condition, cleaning performance, and environmental parameters
