The Aquaculture Podcast Show - Temperature Drives Salmon Behavior | Ep. 42

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how precision farming tools and computer vision are transforming welfare assessment in Atlantic salmon sea cages. We also explain how real-time behavioral data reveals the impact of temperature, depth, and hydrodynamics on fish distribution and feeding performance. It highlights why thermal sensitivity and site depth are critical for managing stress and production risk. Learn how continuous behavioral monitoring can shift aquaculture from reactive to proactive management. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2025 article titled "Precision farming in aquaculture: non-invasive monitoring of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) behaviour in response to environmental conditions in commercial sea cages for health and welfare assessment" by Burke, Meredith, et al.
