Abstract
Irrespective of the production principle, aquaculture farm facilities need to be maintained through day-to-day management routines to sustain the general production process, and more discrete operations to counter events that occur occasionally. To achieve the desired level of control over the production process in an aquaculture farm, it is essential that the required routines and operations are conducted with sufficient precision to make the impacts on the production process predictable. Adaptation of autonomous and robotic solutions become vital to addressing the challenges in the aquaculture industry towards three overarching goals of 1) low production costs, 2) improved efficiency and 3) increased profitability and sustainability. This talk will aims to introduce and present the trends and solutions adapted in salmon farming industry both from R\&D and industry perspectives.
