TTLarvot

TTLarvot is a modular platform designed to optimize larval-rearing operations in aquaculture. It combines automated environmental control, real-time monitoring, and data analytics to support hatcheries and research facilities. The system typically integrates hardware sensors, actuators, and a software suite for data processing and decision support, with an emphasis on interoperability with existing hatchery management systems.

The platform originated as a collaborative project among aquaculture technology firms and research institutes. It has undergone multiple pilots in commercial hatcheries and laboratories to assess its performance across species and facility scales. Emphasis is placed on modular deployment, cybersecurity, and scalable integration from small setups to larger operations.

Key components include environmental sensors for temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and ammonia; imaging systems for larval stage identification; automated feeding dispensers; and control of water flow and aeration. The software provides dashboards, alerting, and analytics, with AI-assisted recommendations for feeding schedules, weaning protocols, and timely adjustments to water quality. Data export supports research and compliance needs.

In early adopters, TTLarvot has been associated with improved survival rates, more uniform growth, and reduced labor costs. Critics note the high upfront cost, ongoing maintenance requirements, the need for specialized staff, and potential data-security concerns. The long-term value depends on proper implementation, operator training, and robust support.
