Farmer uses 5G lighting to protect fish in cold snapBy Wang Chu-hsiu and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writerA Tainan-based aquaculture company has developed a system that uses 5G networks to prevent mass fish deaths during cold snaps. Yen Jung-hung (顏榮宏), the founder of Fisherman Taijiang, said rapid drops in temperature stymie algae growth in fish ponds. The lighting system could be used by fish farmers to remotely monitor their ponds, and it allows fish farmers to remotely activate equipment such as pumps and water wheels, he said. Fisherman Taijiang serves as a platform where local fish farmers and collaborating university teams can interact. The Fisheries Agency yesterday issued a warning for fish farmers over a new cold front approaching the nation, urging them to take precautions to protect their ponds.
