Oystamaran: An Implementation of Autonomy in Surface Vehicles for Oyster Farming
With the evergrowing field and demand of aquafarming, many farms must find ways to optimize their processes. For Ward Aquafarms down in Cape Cod, one particular bottleneck is the flipping of oyster bags. The workers must regularly flip the bags filled with oysters and other products in order to …

Aquaculture Basket Detection and Tracking for Autonomous Surface Vehicles
… the crucial role of aquaculture- the practice of farming aquatic organisms [1]. In the realm of aquaculture, oyster farming is relatively low maintenance, except for the challenge of manually flipping heavy oyster-laden bags. To address this issue, MIT Sea Grant introduced the Oystermaran, an …

Perception and Motion Planning for Autonomous Surface Vehicles in Aquaculture
The "Oystermaran" USV was designed and developed by students at MIT SeaGrant to resolve the oyster basket flipping bottleneck that slows down oyster farming at Ward Aquafarms. The state of the USV requires remote operation within close distance of the vessel. In this thesis, we present an automated …

Design, Development, and Testing of an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) for Oyster Aquaculture
… behind that for terrestrial agriculture. The Oystermaran team at MIT Sea Grant is working on developing a vehicle to address a section of this need. Close quarters flip-bag oyster farming, common in Massachusetts, is a physically demanding job which is done entirely manually as there is no …

Algal bioproducts : investigating the effect of light quality on metabolite production by photosynthetic diatoms
… products during this period were edible oysters which is worth more than $112 million in production value. Oysters are fed with live microalgae (including diatoms) during the larval, juvenile and adult stages of growth, as are other shellfish, some crustaceans, shrimps/prawns and fish. …
