In underwater aquaculture scenarios, in addition to biological and water quality problems, there are also potential safety hazards such as facility damage and alien species invasion. For example, damage to the netting of marine cages may lead to the escape of fish and shrimp or the intrusion of ferocious fish, which is difficult to detect in traditional models. Problems such as blockage of pipelines and failure of oxygenation equipment in industrial aquaculture will cause chain aquaculture accidents if not handled quickly.
The "all-time monitoring" capability of underwater aquaculture cameras has built a "protective net" for aquaculture safety. For cage aquaculture, cameras can cruise regularly along the netting trajectory, identify problems such as netting damage and excessive attachments through image comparison, and promptly remind farmers to repair or clean them. In industrial aquaculture ponds, the lens can focus on key facilities such as oxygenation discs and circulating water pipes, and monitor the operation status of equipment in real time. Once abnormal oxygenation bubbles, stagnant water flow and other situations are found, an alarm will be triggered immediately. At the same time, the camera can also record the image data of the entire aquaculture process, which is not only convenient for tracing the aquaculture process (such as feeding and medication records) to meet the "traceable" requirements of food safety supervision, but also provides a real image basis for the optimization of aquaculture technology.
