Adopt existing technologies for improved seafood production and to better feed a growing world
SBC: RADMANTIS LLC Topic: 91Expansion of aquaculture production depends crucially on the development of technologies that are able to perform functions important in a fish farming facility, without human input. For instance, early detection of a disease or parasite outbreak is critical in intensive aquaculture settings. Parasites, such as Sea Lice in Salmonid aquaculture are responsible for large losses. Existing options for ...

A Tide To Table Traceability and Marketing System for Shellfish Aquaculture.
SBC: Shellfish Solutions Inc. Topic: 9101In 2017 the CDC estimated 35,000 American got sick from Vibrio parahaemolyticus transmitted by shellfish--a 54% increase. However, according to the co-chair of the Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Commission, “Our current system of traceback is inadequate.... Records are lost. Handwriting is illegible. More than half of all traceback investigations fail because the information in the value chain ...

A User-Centric Gamified Crowdsourcing System for Geospatial Analysts
SBC: 361 INTERACTIVE LLC Topic: NGA191007Creating comprehensive geospatial datasets requires that National Geospatial Agency (NGA) analysts spend large amounts of time searching for, delineating, and labeling non-moving features in overhead imagery. This tiresome and tedious task can negatively impact not only the analysts’ work satisfaction but also the resulting data quality. Fortunately, recent advances in gamification and crowdsour ...

Automated Detection of Whale Blows in Infrared Video
SBC: SONALYSTS INC Topic: 816FThe gray whale migration generates many hours of video that must be examined carefully to identify passing whales and get an accurate count of their numbers. Unfortunately, humans lack the necessary attention span. To solve this problem, a detector will be developed that can process hours of video, detecting whale blows while minimizing false positives and negatives. With an accurate record of ...
