WHAT IS FISH FARMING

• Fish farming or pisciculture involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures, usually for food. It is the principal form of aquaculture, while other methods may fall under mariculture. ... Worldwide, the most important fish species used in fish farming are carp, tilapia, salmon, and catfish.

CANADA / SEAFOOD

• Canada's 2016 fish and seafood export values show that trade in this sector continues to grow. Canada exported a record $6.6 billion worth of fish and seafood products in 2016, up 10 per cent from 2015. The United States remains our largest export market, accounting for 65 per cent of our exports worth $4.3 billion. Canada is the largest supplier of fish and seafood to the United States, emphasizing the importance of this trading partnership.

• Minister LeBlanc will take advantage of the presence of many fisheries associations and environmental non-government organizations to hold a roundtable discussion on Canada's plan to achieve its marine conservation targets by protecting 5 per cent of marine and coastal areas by 2017 and 10 per cent by 2020. Marine protected areas support increased size, abundance and diversity of marine species, protect spawning stocks and protect habitat critical to lifecycle stages which can help replenish fish stocks-all of which can benefit Canada's fish and shellfish sector. Fisheries and Oceans Canada will continue to meet with provinces and territories, Indigenous groups, the fishing industry, and other interested parties to discuss their important role in conserving marine biodiversity and safeguarding the health of our oceans for future generations.

TECHNOLOGY AND FISH FAMING

Over half of the world’s seafood is exported from developing countries. Much of the catch is from small fishing boats, which are difficult to monitor and protect. Commercial fishing in developing regions typically occurs within 30 miles from land. Establishing a communication channel that can support hundreds of fishing boats spread out over a large area is a challenge. Boats are small and lack dependable power. Devices have to be both affordable and rugged.

Small boats spread out over a large remote area represent a challenge for network designers. How many towers are needed and where should they be located to offer enough usable capacity. Capacity is the number of devices that can simultaneously be supported per tower or base-station.The Orolia McMurdo Omnicom Solar Fishing Beacon uses Random Phase Multiple Access (RPMA) technology. It is optimized for wireless machine-to-machine communication. It is very spectrally efficient and moves a lot of data per Hz of bandwidth. The low-power, wide-area (LPWA) connectivity is provided by the Machine Network based on Ingenu’s RPMA technology.

IBM AND FISH FARMING

IBM first introduced the concept of BaaS last year but now it believes that its new service is ready for prime time, and it’s hoping that it’s going to go down a storm with developers who are busy building blockchain applications that audit, monitor, support and track everything from the entire US military, all the way through to tuna and pigs, Universal Basic Income (UBI) programs and foreign exchange trading.
