| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The lack of underwater communication technology suitable for aquaculture farms is considered to be one of the barriers to introducing IoT in the aquaculture industry. Therefore, in this study, we conducted an initial study on communication technology to realize a farm monitoring system that collects information measured by biosensors attached to farmed fish and environmental sensors installed in cages and underwater robots. Specifically, in order to collect information from biosensors attached to farmed fish, we propsoed a power-saving method for collecting information using visible light communication using LEDs. In addition, in order to collect information from environmental sensors, we propsoed a method for using commercially available sensors with wireless communication functions underwater.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本技術が確立されるとともに養殖業の高度化、自動化が進めば、個々の養殖魚の高度な品質管理が実現できるようになり、養殖効率の向上、付加価値の追加、天然資源の保護などの大きな波及効果が期待される。特に我が国は海に囲まれており養殖産業の発展の余地が大きいと考えられる。また、少子高齢化により人手不足が予想される我が国において、養殖業の高度化、自動化は不可欠な技術である。さらに、養殖技術の発展が進めば、世界的な食糧不足の解決や寿司をはじめとする日本料理の世界展開などの一助にもなると考えられる。
