SPAROS, i2s (Integrated Information Systems), Blue Analytics, and FLATLANTIC join forces in this consortium, pooling their extensive expertise in fish nutrition, data analytics techniques, development of predictive and nutritional modeling tools, fish production management systems and software development, fish production and industrial aquaculture R&D – all key ingredients to develop a system that empowers farmers to make informed decisions faster, based on data analysis insights and improvements in feeding efficiency.

By integrating statistical, machine learning, and nutritional modeling approaches, the OptiFeeSH solution aims to empower farmers to select the ideal combination of feeds and feeding rates tailored to their specific site conditions and optimization goals, such as maximizing fish growth and minimizing FCR or economic conversion. OptiFeeSH will go beyond the planning stage, it monitors production performance, assists in identifying the factors influencing any deviations from the planning as production unfolds and adjusts the plan accordingly to ensure the achievement of production targets.
