Predicting the behaviour of aquaculture nurseries in the face of adverse weather events

AQUAMOORE

Research into a standardised methodology for the design of mooring lines for floating offshore infrastructure, with application to aquaculture. General objective: The general objective of the project is to improve understanding of the dynamic behaviour of offshore structures in aquaculture, in order to reduce the economic, environmental and social impact of possible failures. This will be achieved through the integration of advanced numerical simulations, in-situ monitoring and data science.

At a glance

To understand the current behaviour of offshore infrastructure in order to prevent loss of integrity in aquaculture nurseries, longlines, buoys, etc.

Predicting the future behaviour of offshore infrastructure using models

Optimise resources and prevent economic and environmental losses

Innovative aspect

AQUAMOORE presents an innovative approach to predicting the behaviour of aquaculture cages through the implementation of a digital twin. This digital twin will provide a platform where users can modify specific variables and observe in real time how the cage would behave in different scenarios. In this way, producers would obtain a real-time view of the cage’s performance in adverse weather conditions, minimising damage to infrastructure and potential associated economic and production losses. La Continuous monitoring of aquaculture nurseries will enable early identification of any unusual increase in net tension, allowingrapid intervention in the event of possible structural failuresand ensuring the integrity of the cage.

Benefits for the marine environment

Reduce crossbreeding between wild and farmed individuals, decreasing the probability of survival of mixed specimens. Control species overpopulation to prevent ecosystem imbalances. Prevent environmental desertification caused by overpopulation of algae-eating species. Prevent the extinction of local species.  

Benefits for the industry

Predict potential economic, material and production losses in aquaculture farms. Prevent the devaluation of aquaculture species prices in the market.    

Benefits for society

Maintain the integrity of coastlines after fish escapes and prevent the death and decomposition of specimens. Improve the tourist environment by avoiding cage debris and dead fish on the coast.
