AI helps farm grow 15cm shrimp in four months｜Taiwan News

Описание: The shrimp farming industry depends heavily on weather patterns. A good harvest requires good weather. But one shrimp farm in Taitung worked with aquaculture experts to introduce AI farming technology. They effectively control everything from selecting shrimp and feeding, to water oxygen and algae levels, and even use clean Pacific seawater. In just four months, the shrimp have grown to over 15cm in length.

All the shrimp in this net are longer than 15cm.

After just four months, they’re longer than a person’s hand. So what’s the secret to this shrimp farm in Taitung’s Sanxiantai?

Traditional farming methods require constant monitoring. But with the help of farming technology, staff don’t have to observe them all the time.

This is a specific species of shrimp, so when picking which kind, we choose the best types. AI can help design anything for clients.

By partnering with aquaculture experts and incorporating AI, the shrimp farm is able to constantly control everything from shrimp selection and feeding, to water oxygen and algae levels. They even use clean seawater from the Pacific Ocean to raise genuine sea shrimp.

The shrimp have the ideal texture—tender with a bit of crunch. After being boiled with some spring onions and ginger to remove any fishiness, customers enjoy their delicate sweetness and salty undertones.

At the moment, the results are really good. After four months we have about 10 shrimp per 600g. Traditional shrimp farms need eight months to grow this much.

The changes on the bottom of the shrimp, its tail area, and its liver and pancreas are all monitored, like how a doctor would take care of humans. We use AI to measure it, much like a CT scan.

Using advanced technology reduces the risks associated with shrimp farming and is helping revitalize the industry in Taiwan. Successful shrimp farms also give local youth a better chance for employment in their hometown.
