The Marine Vertebrates Department at the Marine Science Center, in collaboration with Al-Noor Renewable Energy Company, organized a workshop titled “Smart Purification System for Monitoring and Managing Fish Farms.”

In recent years, the aquaculture sector has faced increasing challenges due to water scarcity and environmental changes in water-scarce regions such as Iraq, necessitating the adoption of modern technologies that optimize water use and ensure sustainable production.

Closed-loop aquaculture systems are among the most important modern solutions, as they rely on water recycling and precise control of water quality, thereby reducing water consumption and increasing production efficiency. In this context, the importance of smart systems in monitoring and managing fish farms is highlighted through the use of sensing, automation, and automated control technologies to continuously track vital such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, pH, ammonia, and nitrite. The Naqa Smart System is one of the advanced technical solutions that contributes to improving farm management, reducing operational risks, and increasing productivity despite limited water resources.

The workshop included two lectures: the first by Engineer Ahmed Sabah and Engineer Haider Tahseen, and the second by Prof. Mohammed Abdul-Razzaq Al-Dugaji, Prof. Falah Ma’ruf Mutlak, and Prof. Amer Abdullah Jaber
