Article Synopsis
- A mathematical model was developed to predict the growth performance of Atlantic salmon in aquaculture, considering factors like fish behavior, feed distribution, and water conditions.
- The model was validated through a field experiment with 360,000 salmon over six months, but growth predictions were impacted by an outbreak of Pancreas Disease, leading to overestimation during the disease period.
- The study highlights the model's potential for improving commercial salmon production predictions and suggests it could aid in early disease outbreak detection, as indicated by discrepancies between predicted and actual growth rates during the PD outbreak.
