Aquatic farming
Most of the seafood, mussels and oysters are artificially farmed. In this way, large quantities can be grown and delivered. This method of breeding is much easier and faster than catching in the wild. Using an underwater drone, the breeding benches, feed levels and nets can be monitored quickly and easily. A lot of time can be gained here; in the 'old-fashioned way' the grower has to make dives himself. In addition to a lot of time, this also involves more costs.
An underwater drone is easy to operate and the image can be viewed directly via the smartphone or tablet that controls the drone.
An underwater drone is convenient to use and quick to teach to people who have to operate it. Fish farmers and nurseries can quickly adapt to this useful technology. If necessary, experts can provide immediate support and diagnosis by watching remotely via live streaming.
Biological research
An underwater drone can also be very useful for biological purposes. Previously, underwater life could only be admired by diving or snorkeling. Underwater drones provide the opportunity to study and investigate the different behaviors of underwater life, such as the mating season, hunting and, for example, the breeding season. In certain weather conditions, the underwater life is difficult to admire, the underwater video drone can also come in handy for this.
