AQUACULTURE
AI-driven Aquaculture Management with deep learning
This invention proposes an intelligent system and method for aquaculture management that uses artificial intelligence and deep learning models to support decision-making. The system works by continuously collecting data that is analysed using AI models (DNN and LSTM). Without the use of image sensors, technology progressively learns from data related to the growth of the cultured species, environmental parameters, and feeding regimes. This makes it possible to optimise aquaculture management over time.

Smart farming approach for spirulina production
The Spirulina Smart Farming System is an innovative approach to cultivating spirulina more efficiently and sustainably. Using IoT sensors, data analysis, and automated systems, the system monitors critical environmental parameters, ensuring optimal growing conditions and efficient resource management. With machine learning algorithms, it predicts growth trends and automates nutrient delivery, reducing manual intervention and increasing efficiency. This approach reduces costs, saves water, minimizes waste, and ensures high-quality spirulina with strong nutritional benefits.

LIVING MARINE RESOURCES
Fertilizer composition based on biotized sewage sludge
This invention relates to a fertilizer composition made from pyrolyzed sewage sludge, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (such as Pseudomonas species like P. putida or P. fluorescens), fungal spores or mycelium from various mycorrhizal or mycoparasitic fungi, and fertilizing components such as vermicompost, humic acids, compost, manure, algae, or yeast extracts. The invention also includes a method for producing this fertilizer composition.

MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY
Anti-inflammatory potential of sea cucumber (Apostichopus Japonicus) fucoidan
Fucoidan from Apostichopus Japonicus (Aj-FUC) has anti-inflammatory effects, but its mechanism is not well understood. This study investigated fucoidan from green and purple Apostichopus Japonicus (G-FUC and P-FUC) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated immune cells. At concentrations ranging from 25 to 400 µg/mL, Aj-FUC was non-toxic and enhanced phagocytic activity. It reduced levels of inflammatory markers (NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) and increased the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Aj-FUC also downregulated the expression of inflammation-related genes and upregulated autophagy-related genes. When autophagy was blocked, inflammation increased again, indicating that Aj-FUC combats inflammation by promoting autophagy.

Algae-based bioplastic production method
The system and method for producing biodegradable plastics from algae includes units for controlled cultivation, biomass harvesting, biopolymer extraction, and conversion into bioplastics. The algae are cultivated in photobioreactors. The extracted biopolymers are converted into biodegradable plastics through polymerization or fermentation. The bioplastics are then molded into final products using techniques such as injection molding and extrusion. The process offers a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics by using renewable algal resources.
