NewDEPOMOD is a particle-tracking modelling software designed to predict dispersion of fish farm wastes in the benthic environment. It helps users define regulatory limits, manage adherence to Environmental Quality Standards, optimise production and stocking density whilst safeguarding the environment.
NewDEPOMOD is prescribed by SEPA for the development of fish farms in Scotland. Due to its high level of adaptability, it is used internationally in various marine environments and for multiple species.
Who is it for?
• Fish Farmers
• Regulators
• Consultants and third-party modellers
• Researchers
Helps fish farmers optimise operational capacity and achieve production targets
Calculates the environmental capacity to safeguard the sea and the seabed
Delivers both financial and environmental benefits
Reliable software that helps regulators set industry limits to assist in management and mitigation of any potential impacts arising from fish farm waste in the benthic environment.
Currently prescribed, recommended and used by regulators and top global industry operators around the world as a key monitoring tool in fish farm development.
Scottish Environmental Protection Agency currently prescribe it to the sector for fish farm development in Scotland.
Useful software for those investigating fish farm waste dispersal, for example, in new environments or when working with new species.
Modellers can define their specific farm setup and location, including cage configurations, feed inputs, local bathymetry and currents.
The model uses this information to generate a farm-specific prediction of where fish faeces and uneaten feed will travel through the water column, and interact with the seabed.
