AGISTAR has developed an autonomous Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) designed to revolutionize large-scale aquaculture by automating fish feeding operations with exceptional precision and sustainability.
The system combines advanced navigation, solar-powered autonomy, and silent propulsion to deliver efficient, eco-friendly performance across extensive fish farming environments.
The USV automatically dispenses feed based on pre-programmed schedules or real-time sensor data, adjusting quantities in response to fish activity and biomass. This precision feeding minimizes waste, prevents overfeeding, and supports optimal growth while maintaining healthier aquatic conditions. Equipped with high-capacity feed storage, the vessel can service vast ponds or open-water farms with minimal human intervention, reducing labor costs and operational complexity.
AGISTAR’s USV employs air propellers that provide silent propulsion, ensuring minimal disturbance to fish behavior and reducing stress, key factors in promoting improved growth rates. Its GPS-guided navigation and obstacle-avoidance systems enable fully autonomous operation, while integrated solar panels extend endurance through renewable energy.
Optional sensors and cameras allow continuous monitoring of fish health, water quality, and feeding efficiency, creating a valuable data-driven management tool. By combining automation, sustainability, and intelligent control, AGISTAR’s autonomous USV sets a new benchmark for environmentally responsible aquaculture.
