A research team has developed Spotibot, a deep learning–powered application available on both web and mobile platforms, designed to automatically detect and measure Botrytis lesions on rose petals.

Farmed fish are increasingly replacing wild fish to meet consumer demand in China, as well as Australia – and barramundi is a popular choice.

Aquaculture research led by Flinders University and experts in China continues to examine the benefits – and possible side effects – of improving fishmeal for farmed fish, with a new study investigating the potential of herbal additives to improve fish immunity in more sustainable future production systems.

This groundbreaking, multi-institutional research project is aimed at revolutionizing the future of precision agriculture through the development of an advanced edge/fog computing-based framework.

Scientists from an International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) working group have called for new research to enhance habitat protection for juvenile fish species. Experts from the ICES' Working Group on the Value of Coastal Habitats for Exploited Species (WGVHES), led by Dr Benjamin Ciotti from the University of Plymouth (UK), undertook a comprehensive review to evaluate the approaches being used to assess juvenile habitat quality. Their resulting study highlights a major gap in the evidence needed to evaluate habitat quality which is in turn leading to a mismatch between policy needs and available science, with management decisions often relying on incomplete or indirect indicators.
