In this study, the relationship among waves, ocean currents, mooring tensions, and net-cage deformations will be figured out via field measurements to provide further information on net cages for the government and the industry. In this project, one ADCP (wave and current meters) will be installed in the cage culture area during typhoon season to measure waves and ocean currents; one load cell will be installed on the mooring line on the upstream side to measure mooring tensions, and a set of water level loggers will be installed on the floating collar and the tube sinker to evaluate the deformation of the net cage. In addition, this project will set a load cell on the land-side mooring line of the net cage during the winter monsoon period to measure and analyze the impact of the downhill wind on the net cage. Finally, this project will use the self-developed numerical model to simulate the impact of anchor point settlement or slippage on the mechanical characteristics of the net cage.</P><br/><b>2:Studies on the main and emerging species in cage culture</b><P>To establish a gene database and track the genetic relationship of offspring based on the potential species of box net culture, Red Ninefish, through molecular markers and transcripts of genetic economic traits, use biomolecular breeding technology to identify the source of fish species and analyze the genetic diversity of the fish species.

The collected big dataset digitizes the underlying aquaculture expertise and guides the development of the smart aquaculture rules by training certain fishing feeding prediction models using machine learning, deep learning or data mining techniques. These models are then implemented in our smart aquaculture cloud, which likely operates as the brain of an aquaculture expert to execute precise aquaculture rules based on the aquaculture machines powered by the AIoT technologies. Our aquaculture cloud offers smart digital services to the aquaculture farms to achieve the goals of smart aquaculture including cost reduction, labor savings, and increased profit. For an aquaculture farm, the AIot smart aquaculture system is the manufacturing executing system (MES) which can further cooperate with the enterprise resource planning (ERP) and advanced planning scheduling (APS) systems to offer smart aquaculture techniques and digital services to aquaculture farms with the intention of achieving the goal of digital transformation.<br /> This project focuses on the definition of a repeatable and transferable business model that guides the transformation of the developed AIoT smart aquaculture system. To achieve the goal of increased production and excellent aquaculture planning, the decision-making models for labor-saving, real-time inspection of the fish health and behaviors, and precise execution of aquaculture expertise should be implemented into the software agent. With the estimation of fish bait as an example, the expertise determines the amount of bait to feed a fish pond by multiplying the values of variables including the water temperature, the average fish weight, the number of fish, and a species-dependent correction factor. The cloud estimates the amount of the fish feeding bait with the pre-trained regression neural network based on the collected dataset. The amount of fish food is then added into our smart fish feeding machine to precisely execute the fish feeding tasks. Although we build up all the decision models based on the high-quality dataset, they should be carefully corrected by the user requirements which requires a series of communication with the workers of the experimental aquaculture farm in order to complete a practical AIoT system for smart aquaculture. The contributions of the system include (1) well-verified digital AI services are implemented on the cloud; (2) human bias in fish feeding is reduced; and (3) aquaculture expertise is digitized and stored in the smart aquaculture cloud which is equipped with important facilities to ensure the information security and increase the system reliability. Based on the digitized aquaculture expertise, i.e., the collected dataset, it is possible to transfer our AIoT system to another aquaculture farm by adapting the pre-trained decision models using the farm-specific data using machine learning techniques. <br />Furthermore, online monitoring and learning algorithms should be studied accordingly to capture dynamic aquaculture decision models. Farm equipment (such as feeders) equipped with embedded IoT sensors can monitor fish growth and capture fish dynamic behaviors. In this way, it can reduce the possibility of employing an incorrect baiting method by 80%. Additionally, the integration of AI and machine learning in farming equipment can predict the course of equipment failure time. Furthermore, with this prediction capability, maintenance work can be arranged in advance. Thus, it shortens maintenance time, improves the appropriate rate and reliability of smart breeding equipment, and provides added intelligence and cloud linking capabilities to ensure and achieve the goal of reducing labor and work requirements in managing aquaculture farms. The design of the fish grading mechanism by using the camera settings in the fish channel of the sorting machine can accurately measure the body length of the fish and calculate the number of fish in the aquaculture cage. Combined with the cloud platform's big data analytics, the fish sorting machine is further optimized and helps aquaculture farms to establish and achieve precise feeding planning.<br /> This project serves to upgrade and improve our existing "Cloud-based AIoT Smart Farming" platform as it aims to develop appropriate digital AI services for smart farming. Based on the digitized aquaculture expertise, i.e., the collected dataset, the proposed AIoT system can be implanted into other aquaculture farms by transfer learning based on further data collections. It also explores the feasibility of the business model to transfer the whole AIoT system across aquaculture farms. The purpose of the research is the following.<br />• Develop a digitization methodology for aquaculture expertise to offer digital AI services for precise aquaculture based on the "Cloud-Based AIoT Smart Aquaculture" platform.<br />• Build an AIoT-based aquaculture decision-making system.<br />• Design a low-cost smart fish feeding machine of self-owned development technique.<br />• Design a fish sorter with non-invasive fish information measurement and fish size classification.<br />• Construct a mobile underwater / aquatic image analysis platform.</P><P>This project contains six research sub-projects:<br />(1) Analysis of the architecture of the AIoT-based aquaculture decision-making system.<br />(2) Establishment of an AIoT-based feeding decision-making system.<br />(3) Design of a low-cost intelligent fish feeding machine with a self-owned development technique.<br />(4) Design of a fish sorter for non-invasive fish measurement and fish size classification.<br />(5) Intelligent autonomous real-time sonar floating vehicle with automatic cloud connection capability.<br />(6) Intelligent autonomous real-time camera floating vehicle with automatic cloud connection.<br /> Each sub-project has a corresponding AI service plugged into the shared cloud platform, which can improve the whole-system output business model of the project results. This project integrates each sub-project, establishing their corresponding database component, together with the results, which are added to the "cloud-based AIoT smart aquaculture" platform with equipment automation capabilities. It also builds a platform that provides smart farming technology services using an AIoT system.</P><P><br /> </P>
