The Digital Salmon vision and goals for the workshop

Version 1

Salmon farming in the future must navigate conflicting and shifting demands of sustainability, shifting feed prices, disease, and product quality. The industry needs to develop a flexible, integrated basis of knowledge for rapid response to new challenges. The Digital Salmon will be an ensemble of mathematical descriptions of salmon physiology, combining mathematics, high-dimensional data analysis, computer science and measurement technology with genomics and experimental biology into a concerted ...

Towards the Digital Salmon: From a reactive to a pre-emptive research strategy in aquaculture (DigiSal)

Salmon farming in the future must navigate conflicting and shifting demands of sustainability, shifting feed prices, disease, and product quality. The industry needs to develop a flexible, integrated basis of knowledge for rapid response to new challenges. Project DigiSal will lay the foundations for a Digital Salmon: an ensemble of mathematical descriptions of salmon physiology, combining ...

The first Digital Salmon industry workshop raised awareness of the Digital Salmon vision and engaged major industry players in discussions on data sharing and reuse, guidelines and best practices for private-public collaboration. The workshop was a success, and a Digital Salmon working group was formed, comprising industry, academia and funding bodies. Its first task is to develop a white paper to be presented to the industry in summer of 2020.
