Promoting the modernization and sustainable fishing industry
The changing fishing environment, aging fisherman and labor shortages have all forced the fishery industry to evolve in recent years. And is for that, that the organization has announced that, in the same days of the Japan International Seafood & Technology Expo, will be lauched the new tech co-event called Fish Next Technology Expo.
This gathering will promote the modernization and sustainable fishing industry through the introduction of new technologies and ideas, such as AI, IoT and robotics technology, to fisheries businesses and sites.
“Fishery is fundamental of Japan’s industry, that’s why it is an important project to provide food to the people of the country surrounded by the sea.”
Due to fluctuation in the recent natural fishing environment, aging of fishermen, shortage of workers, etc., by introducing new technology in fishery, it is possible to improve the environment by saving energy, increase efficiency, lightening the labor etc., while meeting the increasing demands for modernization.
“There is an increasing number of industries incorporating digital technology, evolving and transforming business models themselves, and attracting new attention.”
Therefore, the organization has established the ‘Fish Next EXPO’ within ‘Seafood Show’ to present robot technology, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Internet of Things IoT and other advanced technologies/ ideas, “we are seeking to widely recruit participants to promote fishery to a stable and attractive industry. We look forward to active participation of everyone who has the applicable technology and ideas”, they said.
“Some of the companies that will be presenting at this first edition of the Fish Next Technology EXPO are ISE, based in Mie Prefecture, which will present one of its latest developments, the marine IoT product ‘Umi log’.”
Another is Blue Ocean Research Institute, from Saitama, which will bring its development of a buoy system that monitors real-time environmental information such as flow, water quality and weather of the ocean, lakes and rivers.
Also present will be AquaFusion (from Hyogo), which has perfected a basic fish finder to identify and determine the size of individual fish down to 3 centimeters, called AquaMagic.
The drone industry will be represented by Airds, Six Voice produces the BlueROV2 industrial underwater drone and Chasing-Innovation Technology from China, based in Shenzhen, among many others.
