Hatchery automation

摘要

Horn Point Oyster Hatchery has the Rolls Royce of automated feeding systems. After a comprehensive presentation at the Milford Aquaculrure Seminar in January by algologist Julie Trom-matter, one of the first questions was, "How much did it cost?" Thatbrought chuckles from the crowd. Many hatchery owners obviously felt more like Chevy drivers.The software and hardware, which Trommatter calls, "innovative computer programming and inventive plumbing," also sit in a special setting, with different rooms dedicated to the algae and larvae. That was another way this presentation felt foreign to many.
