Problem & Solution
As the ocean becomes more unstable, the role of technology becomes more important.
With radioactive contamination and rising sea temperatures, inland aquaculture is becoming increasingly important.
Seatechlabs minimizes feed waste and water pollution through an AI-based optimized feeding system,
building a stable and sustainable seafood production environment.
problem 01
Environmental
Pollution
Fish are highly sensitive to environmental changes such as water temperature and quality. When conditions are unsuitable, they stop feeding. Uneaten feed becomes a major source of pollution, leading to water quality degradation and ecosystem disruption.
problem 02
Decline in the
Fishing Population
The fishing population continues to decline each year, with more than half of current workers aged 65 or older. While seafood consumption is increasing, the workforce is shrinking rapidly, creating a growing imbalance.
problem 03
Changes in the
Marine Environment
Radioactive contamination and rising sea temperatures are making marine aquaculture increasingly unstable. To ensure a stable seafood supply, inland aquaculture systems are essential alternatives.
solution
Inland Aquaculture Innovation
Responding to Environmental Change
Because fish respond sensitively to external environmental changes, precise control of feeding is the key to aquaculture efficiency. Seatechlabs develops smart inland aquaculture systems to overcome marine environmental instability, minimizing water pollution and establishing a stable seafood supply through data-driven feeding technology.
Solution
AI-Based Inland Smart Feeding System
Seatechlabs collects and analyzes diverse sensor and video data—such as water quality, environment, temperature, and fish behavior—to build AI prediction-based feeding control logic. Based on real-time assessment of feeding responses, we develop a precision feeding system that automatically controls feeding timing and quantity, minimizing feed waste and environmental pollution.
Preparation Status
Verification of growth and efficiency through AI-based feeding experiments
In a one-year cage experiment conducted at an inland aquaculture farm in Tongyeong, AI environment-based feeding achieved higher growth rates and better feed efficiency (FCR) than conventional methods. By adjusting feeding according to fish condition, red seabream reached an average weight of up to 1.2 kg, while unnecessary feed input decreased—improving both productivity and sustainability.

Test Facility
Establishing a Demonstration Testbed
for Direct Technology Verification
Seatechlabs operates an inland test environment in Tongyeong where our technology can be verified under real-world conditions. Equipped with four 6 m × 6 m tanks, high-value species farming, a sedimentation tank, drum filter, biofilter, and various water quality control and biological filtration systems, we conduct demonstration tests for AI feeding and sensor-based control technologies.

Gyeongnam Province Invites 10 Citizens Who Achieved Their Dreams to a Provincial ForumGyeongsangnam-do Province held the “April Citizens’ Meeting” on the 22nd, inviting ten residents who have realized their dreams in Gyeongnam to share their success stories, discuss challenges, and propose policy suggestions. The invited residents represented a wide range of industries, including new industries, agriculture, start-ups, livestock, economy, fisheries, and forestry. In his opening remarks, Governor Park Wan-soo stated that while many young people leave the region for the Seoul metropolitan area due to employment and education opportunities, their overall sense of happiness is not necessarily higher. He emphasized that the stories of residents who have achieved their dreams in Gyeongnam through passion and a spirit of challenge can serve as an important guide for the region’s youth and future generations.

Korea Fisheries Infrastructure Promotion Association Holds an On-site Forum to Promote Return-to-Fishing and Rural Settlement in Gyeongnam[Consumer Times | Reporter Ahn Woo-jin] The Gyeongnam Center for Returning to Fishing and Rural Communities, operated by the Korea Fisheries Resources Agency, held the “2021 Gyeongnam Returning to Fishing and Rural Communities Activation Forum” on the 16th at the Chungmu Hall of Tongyeong Marina Resort. The forum was organized to strengthen the capabilities of stakeholders involved in returning to fishing in Gyeongnam and to build a settlement network. It was attended by officials from the Fisheries Safety Technology Institute, local government officers in charge of returning-to-fishing policies, local fishermen, and prospective returnees. The program featured a series of presentations, beginning with “Formation and Operation of the Gyeongnam Youth Fishermen Association” by Lee Cheol-soo, Director of the Fisheries Safety Technology Institute, followed by “Presentation of Survey Results on the Status of Returning to Fishing and Rural Communities” by Jeong Do-seop, Head of the Gyeongnam Center, and “Strategies to Activate Returning to Fishing and Rural Communities in Gyeongnam” by Lee Seung-woo, Senior Research Fellow at the Korea Maritime Institute (KMI).

Tongyeong’s Taehyun Kim Wins the Grand Prize for Outstanding Return-to-Fishing & Rural Settlement[Consumer Times | Reporter Ahn Woo-jin] The Gyeongnam Center for Returning to Fishing and Rural Communities of the Korea Fisheries Resources Agency (headed by Jeong Do-seop, hereinafter referred to as the Gyeongnam Center) announced on the 7th that Kim Tae-hyun, a representative from Tongyeong City, won the Grand Prize in the “Outstanding Return-to-Fishing and Rural Community Award” category of the 2021 Outstanding Returnees Competition. The 2021 Outstanding Returnees Competition evaluates individuals who have returned to fishing or rural communities within the past five years (since January 1, 2016). Candidates are comprehensively assessed across four criteria: effective use of government policies, excellence in business management, integration with the local community, and contribution to regional development. The competition aims to identify and recognize exemplary cases of successful settlement in fishing and rural communities. Kim Tae-hyun, who received the Grand Prize, previously worked as a researcher in the IT industry before returning to Tongyeong, Gyeongnam Province, in 2016. He entered the fish cage aquaculture business and applied his accumulated IT expertise to the field, focusing on the development of smart aquaculture technologies utilizing ICT.
