The project will provide solutions for industrial production of high quality juveniles to support an Norwegian Lobster Farm`s expansion of land-based production of plate sized lobers to end consumer. Hatching procedures will be optimised through artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision systems (CVS) to reveal the maturation process for brood-stock, number of juveniles hatched form alpha-numerical tagged breeders, and quantify exact survival in the zoea stages. Moreover, the project will develop a robot for efficient grading technique using image processing and CVS to grade stage IV from the smaller grade I to III stage juveniles. In addition, we will develop and test new feed formulas in order to optimise SGR, FCR and increase the feeding behaviour. The main aim is to reduced cannibalism, improve feeding and nutrient uptake in the pelagic stages and thereby increase survival with 20% till stage IV.
