Indigenous tech solution targets fish losses with data driven farming

By Cynthia Alo

High feed costs, fish mortality and inefficient water management are reducing the profitability of fish farming in Nigeria, prompting calls for wider adoption of technology that can help farmers improve production and cut losses.
One such innovation is Smart Pond, developed by Pysis Technologies, an agritech startup using Internet of Things (IoT) technology and artificial intelligence to help fish farmers make production decisions based on actual pond conditions rather than assumptions. The technology monitors pond conditions and provides information to guide feeding and water management, addressing practices that often result in excessive feed use, poor water quality...
