Description Remote sensing has much to offer to the cage
aquaculture industry. First, it is helpful in the choice
of sites for development of cage culture. Here, the
opposing requirements of dispersion of waste
products and shelter for the cages have to be
balanced. The ability of remote sensing to deliver spatially-extensive data at high resolution is
important, especially when complemented by
numerical modelling. The most favourable period for
cage deployments of less than one year can also be
assessed from the seasonal wind field. Once the sites
are selected, remote sensing continues to be
beneficial in operational culture by providing early
indications of the advent of water masses that are
potentially antagonistic, either because of their
physical properties or their microflora. Such warning
gives producers the option to harvest their fish early
and thereby minimize potential losses.
