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, announce today , the deployment of a customized LoRaWAN® aquaculture monitoring system 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, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) estimates that aquaculture production in 2015 totaled nearly $4.4 billion in revenue, or 24% of the country’s total fish production. Kerlink and GISupply’s smart aquaculture solution targets this market as well as the global fish farming industry with a sustainable aquaculture business model 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.
