Photoperiod with artificial intelligence demonstrates improved salmon smoltification Marco Galaz, Luxmeter A study carried out by Luxmeter for more than eight months compared the growth of smolts using a new photoperiod with AI against the standard control system. Results showed 35.7% more fish growth, greater strength and maturity at the time of seawater transfer.
High enzyme levels and greater growth of Atlantic salmon were the conclusions of a study carried out by Luxmeter, a Chilean company with 20 years of experience in lighting, demonstrating that the use of its photoperiod system with Artificial Intelligence (AI) effectively stimulates the growth of smolts from their land-based phase to later consolidate in seawater. The results of the study provided relevant information that accounts for a rise of more than 35.7% in the total
growth of the smolts, which corresponded to 19.1% during the first four weeks in seawater, indicating more homogeneous conditions for the health of fish, and improving and stimulating their gill health from the fish farming stage. “At Luxmeter, we are focused on taking a leap into the new era of photoperiod with artificial intelligence and the use of software that allows us to improve the control of different factors that affect the lighting conditions of fish. We have great potential at
