Thorigné-Fouillard, France and Hokkaido, Japan – December 6, 2022, 6:00 p.m. – CET – Kerlink (AKLK –
FR0013156007), specialist in solutions dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT), and its Japanese distributor,
GISupply, today announce the deployment of a customized LoRaWAN® surveillance system
of aquaculture that promotes sustainable seafood production and reduces costs for aquaculturists
Japan is one of the largest fishing economies in the world. Its Ministry of Agriculture,
Forests and Fisheries (MAFF) estimates that aquaculture production in 2015 totaled almost 4.4 billion
dollars in revenue, or 24% of the country’s total fish production. The aquaculture solution
intelligence from Kerlink and GISupply is targeting this market as well as the global fish farming industry with a model
sustainable aquaculture business based on LoRa technology. Like land-based agriculture,
sustainable seafood production is essential to feed a growing world population,
but global catches of wild fish have not increased significantly since the
early 1990s.
