Mussel and Oyster Monitoring
How do you monitor water quality in mussel and oyster farms for improved compliance management?Mussel and oyster farms play a major role in food production.
Due to the huge pressure placed on the environment by humans for increased food production, by humans, aquaculture production sites such as mussel and oyster farms, already play a key role in the future of where our food comes from. Aquaculture farms are a fast-growing worldwide industry that is creating new jobs and exports, they also helps to reduce the fishing pressure on wild food stocks. Saltwater oyster and mussel farms rely heavily on water quality to achieve higher yields, maximise efficiencies and reduce environmental impact.

Continuous monitoring of water quality can reduce environmental impact.
Monitoring of saltwater quality (commonly salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen) plays a major role in mussel and oyster farming, by minimising the environmental impact on fragile water environments. Adroit water monitoring solutions are designed and built to withstand New Zealand’s diverse conditions. The highly accurate and factory calibrated sensors are connected to Libelium controllers. The live data is transferred to the Adroit platform, which hosts an interactive user dashboard. The solution monitors water parameters in real-time, allowing farm management to optimise conditions for mussel and oyster production. The rich data can aid decision making to help improve yield, quality of product, and reduce the impact on aquatic environments by reducing resource wastage.
Adroit aquaculture solutions are suitable for:
Shrimp farms
Oyster farms
Fish farms
Mussel farms
Seaweed farms
