Thorigné-Fouillard, France and Hokkaido, Japan – Dec. 6, 2022, 6:00 p.m. CET – Kerlink (AKLK – FR0013156007), a specialist in solutions dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT), and its Japanese distributor, GISupply, today announced a customized aquaculture-monitoring system that supports sustainable seafood production and lowers farmers’ costs.
Japan is one of the world’s biggest fish economies. Its Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) estimates that aquaculture production in 2015 totaled nearly $4.4 billion or 24 percent of the country’s total fish production. Kerlink and GISupply’s smart-aquaculture solution targets that market as well as the global fish-farming industry with a LoRa-based sustainable aquaculture business model. Like land-based agriculture, sustainable seafood production is vital for feeding a growing global population, but the worldwide global wild-fish catch has not increased significantly since the early 1990s.

“Because members of the LoRa Alliance come from every part of the value chain—from silicon chipmaker to solution implementor—explosive adoption of LoRaWAN means not only the number of sensors deployed, but also the rapid scaling of gateway deployments, messages handled, and networks said Donna Moore, CEO and chairwoman of the LoRa Alliance. “Every stakeholder of the LoRaWAN ecosystem is driving market activity, with recent strong growth in the number of solutions providers and system integrators delivering LoRaWAN solutions.”
