A Dynamic Data-driven Decision Support for Aquaculture Farm Closure

We present a dynamic data-driven decision support for aquaculture farm closure. In decision support, we use machine learning techniques in predicting closures of a shellfish farm. As environmental time series are used in closure, we propose two approaches using time series and machine learning for closure prediction. In one approach, we consider time series prediction and then using expert rules to predict closure. In other approach, we use time series classification for closure prediction. Both approaches exploit a dynamic data-driven technique where prediction models are updated with the update of new data to predict closure decisions. Experimental results at a case study shellfish farm validate the applicability of the proposed method in aquaculture decision support.
