9. Industrial livestock management leveraging digital twin computing
The approach utilizes digital twin computing to create a digital copy of biological and non-biological assets of a livestock production unit/facility (e.g., aquaculture, sericulture, dairy industry, meat industry, etc.) to improve the efficiency and reduce cost associated with the production of livestock. The usage of digital twins removes fundamental constraints concerning place, time, and human observation. Instead of control based on direct observation of physical objects, which requires physical proximity, digital twins enable remote control of livestock operations coupled with IoT sensors. This allows for the decoupling of physical flows from information aspects of farm operations.

- Degradation of off-flavor compounds in aquaculture systems
A reacting canister utilizing transparent optical fiber technology coated with a photocatalyst and a plasmonic layer, including yttrium aluminium garnet nanoparticles, disposed between the optical fiber and the photo-catalyst to degrade off-flavour compounds in aquacultured aquatic life. The degradation of off-flavoured compounds (including 2-methylisoborneol) can be significantly enhanced by increasing the surface area of the catalyst. Coating individual transparent optical fibers and aligning those fibers in a canister configuration allows the treatment of large volumes of water in portable and scalable reactors. Once the fluid is treated, the fluid is returned to the reservoir containing the aquacultured aquatic life.

- Process and system for smoking seafood and meat with reduced gas odours and improved flavour
The present invention relates to an improved process and system for cold smoking of seafood and meat. The process is directed towards the reduction of distasteful gas compounds in aerosol smoke that cause unwanted gas odors and flavors in subsequently smoked foods. The method is further effective in preserving the freshness, wholesomeness, and appearance of smoked seafood and meat by retaining the desirable preservative aerosol components of the smoke. A superior smoke aroma and flavor can be imparted to seafood and meat, without the interference of distasteful gases odors. The process is further highly efficient, by incorporation of condensation filtering to regulate water, collect, and recycle smoke flavoring liquid condensates, thereby maximizing the value recovery from the smoking system.
