The shuttle service brings scientists and ocean engineers to the RV where they can get access to a wet-laboratory. It is on this ? oating laboratory that the numerous participa- tion PhDs, researchers and engineers seek to advance the science of marine aquaculture and real-time environmen- tal assessments.

“With today’s shell? sh aquaculture there really is no sophisticated tech- nology. What we are doing that is re- ally advanced for exploiting this huge market what we called ‘Ocean Inter- net of Things’ (IoT). According to the

McKinsey Global Institute, by 2025 the Internet of Things will be an $11 trillion market for connecting networks and sensors together,” said Cruver. “We have a whole stack of technologies, most of which have been designed es- pecially for the purpose of the ranch, others have not been used before in this way.”
