Aquaculture - daily sea forecast measurements from satelites

All data is driven from Copernicus - European Union's Earth Observation Programme, dedicated Sentitel satellites and numerical models

Aquaculture Satellite Data Service



Every day from surface to bottom

  • Temperature (C)
  • Dissolved oxygen [ppm]
  • Chlorophyll [μg/L]
  • Salinity [ppt]
  • Sea Current

Data is sourced from Copernicus, the EU’s Earth Observation Programme*, utilizing Sentinel satellites and numerical models. Our KS models also integrate sea surface stations measurements.

Temperature

Water temperature is crucial in aquaculture for well-being, feeding, survival, growth and reproduction.

  • Warm Water Species: Breeding below 20 °C is hindered, growth is limited below 10 to 15 °C.
  • Coldwater Species: Temperatures above 20 to 25 °C are unsustainable, inhibiting reproduction above 32 °C.
  • Tropical Species: Development below 25 °C is impeded, and temperatures of 10 to 20 °C are intolerable.

Dissolved Oxygen

  • Parts per Million (ppm)

Insufficient levels of dissolved oxygen will result in fish being compelled to move to colder and deeper water layers, heightening the strain on their bodies, and in severe cases, leading to atypical fish mortality.


Chlorophyll

  • Ecological Condition (ug/L)

Concentration of chlorophyll a at the sea surface of a fish farm is essential for describing water quality and predicting incoming algal bloom which is lethal for marine life. Unusual increases in concentration can be used as a warning.


Salinity

Salinity Impact on Saltwater Fish:

  • Hypersalinity: Struggles with salt regulation, hampers food digestion, leading to reduced growth.
  • Hyposalinity: Risks organ failure, increases mortality in saltwater species.

Sea current velocity:

Sea Currents Impact on aquaculture fish:

  • Adequate velocity ensures fresh, oxygenated water flow for fish health and development.
  • Strong currents are needed for fish exercise but can lead to aggregating and logistical issues.
