This project is developing an innovative approach to farming squid and cuttlefish. The team is creating automated feeding and tank-cleaning systems to enable efficient, large-scale production. 

With wild catches declining and seasonal supply causing price fluctuations, the project aims to ensure a reliable, year-round supply of safe, high-quality seafood. 

This technology could reduce production costs, meet market demand, support sustainable aquaculture, and create new business opportunities.
