This modelling could be a game-changer for Sealord and for the economic and environmental sustainability of New Zealand’s fishing industry.
“When we are trying to catch fish, if we can avoid steaming off in an unproductive direction, we can reduce diesel consumption,” says Matthew Dodd, General Manager of Information Technology at Sealord.
“Another big part of the sustainability picture is minimising bycatch of non-quota fish species. We want to use the data to make better decisions about where we fish to reduce our chances of bycatch and focus our efforts on high quota species.”
Using these advanced analytics could inform more efficient harvesting strategies, help optimise route planning for trawlers to minimise damage to the seabed and reduce fuel consumption, as well as overall operating costs.
The Azure based platform is allowing researchers at Cawthron Institute to gather, access, and analyse data with unprecedented ease as they nurture Aotearoa’s aquaculture industry.
Cawthron’s research and development supports the success of the local ocean economy, optimising performance and quality of key aquaculture species through sustainable practice.
With the new platform, scientists have a direct feed from sensors and other producers of data to update their research in real time, received by the Azure IoT Hub and fed straight into Azure Data Lake, from where it can be configured into any format required.
“It’s really allowed us to lift our game,” says senior researcher Nick King, who affirms that the project is helping to realise Cawthron’s purpose and deepen their impact as they have gained the capacity to channel their resources into more research and development - ‘where the value really is.’
