Danish feed giant BioMar is participating in a new project that's developing a software tool for improving aquaculture's environmental footprint and optimizing processes in fish farming.

The project is part of the Danish Green Development and Demonstration Program (GUDP) to increase the level of high-tech solutions in the aquaculture industry.

The new software will build on technologies such as big data, internet of things (IoT) and machine learning to enhance husbandry in the farms and optimize feed and oxygen use.
