Their application is increasingly being seen as a means to cost-effectively increase the production of food, including farmed fish and seafood,\u00a0for progressively demanding markets, and for achieving closer alignment to ever-shifting consumer demands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_728009905-zeker-ook-gebruiken.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2547 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_728009905-zeker-ook-gebruiken.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_728009905-zeker-ook-gebruiken.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_728009905-zeker-ook-gebruiken-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_728009905-zeker-ook-gebruiken-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Investing in transformation <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It should be highlighted that aquaculture was already on a technological transformation pathway. The sector\u2019s success seen in past decades has instilled an appetite for the introduction of innovations that can improve cost-efficiencies, productivity and profitability. In more recent times, sustainability, responsible best practice and conservation have also become more prominent goals.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, and alongside the introduction of automatic feeding systems and increasingly advanced production systems in the water and on land, the modern-day farming of aquatic species has seen the arrival of sophisticated tools for disease and pest prevention, vaccines and vaccine delivery, supply chain management and traceability, and much, much more. And that\u2019s alongside new proactive diets and the application of novel ingredients such as insects and algae.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Applying dynamic data<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Despite some clearly impressive progress, aquaculture still has a lot of scope for further advancement in these areas, and for broader industry adoption. And there are also a lot more innovations in the pipeline. Nevertheless, it\u2019s data that\u2019s expected to really revolutionise the sector and help it to overcome any obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>As evidenced in the aforementioned automotive, fashion and electronics industries, it\u2019s the rapidly growing number of sensors, connected devices and systems producing a constant flow of rich data that\u2019s driving industry 4.0. And as early adopters of this game-changing tech have demonstrated, the digitalisation of their operations \u2013 both internally and externally with horizontal partners \u2013 is a means to future-proof their business, making them more flexible, more customer-focused and better placed to add more value.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1466772725.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2552 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1466772725.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1466772725.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1466772725-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1466772725-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1466772725-700x394.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tech-savvy producers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While such changes may not be for everyone in the aquaculture sector, nor will there be a willingness to implement them at the same time, it\u2019s important to recognise that fish and seafood producers of all sizes and in a growing number of regions are increasingly looking to advance and adapt. They can do this by embracing new aquatech that will ultimately better serve and benefit their operations.<\/p>\n<p>This evolution owes much to the commoditising of consumer goods such as smartphones and tablets that have in turn made everything from hardware and sensors to the software that\u2019s housed on the devices or in the cloud both accessible and affordable. Equally important in this regard, is the growing number of very tech-savvy people coming into the sector.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the identification of aquaculture as a critical component of the global food security landscape, it\u2019s quite likely that it\u2019s these solutions and this landscape that are also fuelling the wave of start-ups, entrepreneurs and external investors that are today joining the sector and increasingly helping to shape its future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1792395163.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2556 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1792395163.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1792395163.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1792395163-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1792395163-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/academy.pittmanseafoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1792395163-700x394.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aquaculture \u2013 already one of the world\u2019s fastest food production sectors \u2013 is also in the midst of a technological revolution, with an increased uptake of new innovations expected in the years ahead.
