Issues and Objectives
With global climate change, extreme weather events are occurring more frequently. In recent years, Taiwan's aquaculture industry has been hit by extreme high and low temperatures and typhoons, causing farmed species to die or suffer from adverse effects on their health and growth due to drastic changes in water quality during the farming process, resulting in huge losses for aquaculture operators.
Improvement Measures Taken
By combining AI-powered intelligent monitoring technology based on the Internet of Things (IoT) with aquaculture equipment, the salinity, pH value, and oxygen content in the aquaculture ponds can be monitored. The water quality data can be transmitted to a computer to monitor environmental changes in the fishponds. Before and after extreme weather forecasts are issued by the weather bureau, the information panel can be used to access relevant information about the ponds and equipment, thus preventing disasters.
Results
In addition to monitoring data such as dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and salinity in the water, the system can also gather various data to observe changes in the pond in real time. When faced with extreme weather, it can take countermeasures in advance to prevent the aquatic species from having a large number of adverse reactions or deaths. Furthermore, the combination of data and aquaculture equipment can achieve energy-saving effects.
Glossary
Climate change risk assessment: Using effective assessment tools to understand the medium- and long-term impacts of climate change on various sectors, and to propose corresponding adaptation strategies and actions to reduce the risks brought about by climate change.
Case type:
