📋 Tender Overview
Through the use of an electronic sensor Hobo datalogger in the sea of Sechura Piura work began to establish an early warning system in the future to alert aquaculture producers in the region in an effective and timely manner about possible anomalous events that harm their crops. This modern equipment in favor of the fishing sector will measure the surface temperature of the water continuously and permanently at intervals of 1 hour 24 hours a day 365 days a year. In this way you will collect historical data on the behavior of this parameter over time. This effort is possible through joint work between the Technological Institute of Production ITP a body attached to the Ministry of Production Produce through CITEpesquero Piura in coordination with the Peruvian Sea Institute IMARPE Paita headquarters and the Council of Mariculturists. The prevention system will also include the evaluation of the salinity of the Sechura bay and the analysis of phytoplankton which is why water samples will be taken every other day to be analyzed in the IMARPE laboratory. With this it will be identified if there are anomalous variations in the physical parameters of the water the presence of potentially toxic phytoplankton or high algal concentrations which could put the molluscs in cultivation at risk. It is necessary to strengthen this historical data to establish a good early warning system in the future. For this reason the surveillance personnel of the aquaculture concession of the Social Organization of Artisanal Fishermen have been trained in Las Delicias-Baha de Sechura where the sensor has been installed said William Rivera Pea director of CITEpesquero Piura. For his part the president of the Mariculturists Council Agustn Matas Navarro highlighted this research work as it will allow aquaculture producers to take timely actions to prevent their crops from being harmed. It is a tool that will help us be alert to natural events and algal blooms that occur every year and affect our crops in the sea he said.
