Unmanned ship observes marine pastures and uses modern technology to create a new scene of marine scientific research

To put it simply, marine ranching is the use of large-scale fishery facilities and systematic management systems to utilize the natural marine ecological environment to effectively manage fish, shrimp, shellfish, algae and other marine resources. Planned and purposeful sea stocking is of great significance to increase the production of aquatic resources and the sustainable development of fisheries. For the public, the emergence of marine ranches has lowered the threshold for seafood consumption, giving more people the opportunity to taste aquatic products.

The history of marine ranching in my country is actually not short. Construction began as early as the 1970s and 1980s, and good economic and ecological benefits were achieved at that time. With the development in recent years, my country has paid more attention to the impact of environmental factors in the construction of marine ranches, and the scope of breeding and the types of aquatic resources involved have also increased significantly.

However, my country’s marine ranches also have problems. On the one hand, generally speaking, my country's marine ranch construction is still in the stage of artificial reef construction and breeding and releasing, and there is still a lot of room for development; on the other hand, there is still a lack of observation of the growth of many marine organisms such as sea cucumbers and fish. A set of means that can achieve real-time and intelligent monitoring.

However, recently, this problem seems to have been resolved. Recently, the country's first marine ranch farming observation unmanned ship conducted sea trials and was delivered for use at Deming Marine Ranch in Weihai City, Shandong Province. It is reported that the unmanned ship is made of carbon fiber composite materials and is equipped with underwater robots. The hull is operated by a handheld intelligent controller and supports multi-path point autonomous cruising under level 2 sea conditions; the underwater robot can dive to a depth of 50 meters and can achieve underwater high-definition video shooting and image transmission. It solves the problem of real-time and intelligent monitoring of underwater conditions in marine ranches.

In addition, if this technology can be popularized and developed, it will also be of great significance to the further development of "marine agriculture and animal husbandry". At present, the key to ecological fisheries lies in the protection of marine ecology and the control of aquatic resource production. This has very high requirements for the control of the breeding environment. Traditional marine ranches have limited intervention in the environment. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of the breeding environment, there are certain restrictions on the types of farmed products and the scope of the ranch. The maturity of underwater real-time monitoring technology means that our ability to control the underwater environment has been further improved., which is conducive to further developing related breeding technologies and appropriately increasing the types of aquatic resources and the scope of breeding.

Generally speaking, modern technology is of great significance to the advancement of aquaculture, especially aquaculture and marine resources. Marine ranching is a valuable field in marine science and technology, and promoting its stable and healthy development is of great significance to future economic construction.
