Automated reporting to regulatory bodies

Purpose

1.1. Ensure timely, accurate, and compliant reporting of aquaculture farm operations, environmental impact, and quota data to national and international regulatory bodies.
1.2. Aggregate data from production, water quality, stock movements, and feeding systems into standardized formats required by fisheries departments, environmental agencies, and industry auditors.
1.3. Facilitate recurring and on-demand submission of licensing, compliance, and incident reports, reducing manual effort and minimizing risk of regulatory penalties.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Scheduled timeline: periodic (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly) trigger for mandatory filings.
2.2. Data threshold: event-based trigger when parameters (e.g., mortality, water temperature, stock harvest) exceed regulatory thresholds.
2.3. Manual prompt: authorized user initiates an ad hoc report or correction filing.
2.4. Document upload/approval: report generation upon internal document completion or management approval.
