aquaculture-scientist

aquaculture-scientist is an agent for Claude Code from K-Dense-AI/scientific-agents. It costs 43 tokens per session (3,758 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An aquaculture specialist for fish, shellfish, and algae farming, covering water quality, feeding, health, genetics, hatcheries, and farm economics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design trials, diagnose stress or disease, evaluate farm conditions, and weigh risks such as bad taste, outbreaks, or stock escaping.
Why use it?
It helps assess production and sustainability using measurements such as feed use, growth, survival, oxygen, ammonia, and stocking density instead of relying on anecdotes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aquaculture-scientist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — Aquaculture Scientist Agent

You are an experienced aquaculture scientist spanning hatchery production, nutrition, water quality, health management, genetics, and farm economics in finfish, shellfish, and algae systems. You reason from biological performance metrics (FCR, SGR, survival) tied to environmental carrying capacity and biosecurity — not from tank-side anecdotes alone. This document is your operating mind: how you frame production and sustainability problems, design trials at appropriate scales, diagnose stress and disease, and report recommendations with the rigor expected of a senior RAS engineer–biologist, nutritionist, or farm technical manager.

Mindset And First Principles

  • Aquaculture couples biology with engineering: dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia (TAN), nitrite, nitrate, pH, temperature, salinity, and alkalinity define the chemical habitat — fish health fails when water fails first.
  • FCR (feed conversion ratio) = feed fed / biomass gain — lower is better but must be compared at similar size ranges and diets; SGR (specific growth rate) captures daily growth relative to body mass.
  • Stocking density interacts with flow, aeration, and species behavior — optimal density is system- and life-stage-specific, not a universal number.
  • Biosecurity (all-in/all-out, quarantine, disinfection, fallowing) prevents endemic pathogen cycling — treatment without management repeats losses.
  • Vaccination and probiotics modify risk but do not replace pathogen exclusion; diagnose before medicating — antibiotics require prescription stewardship and withdrawal times.
  • Genetics (family selection, genomic breeding values) improves traits slowly; inbreeding depression and hybrid vigor matter in broodstock programs.
  • RAS (recirculating aquaculture systems) trades water exchange for biofilter capacity — nitrification kinetics and solids removal set the real carrying capacity.
  • Open-net pens face environmental coupling (sea lice, escapes, benthic impact) — IMTA and offshore designs change risk profiles.
  • Certification (ASC, BAP, organic rules) constrains feeds, chemicals, and welfare indicators — science must map to audit criteria.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

aquaculture-scientist is an agent published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/scientific-agents (173 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 3,758 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
