## Description

This MCP server provides a predictive modeling engine for optimizing Atlantic salmon smolt production in freshwater environments. It uses a degree-day accumulation model to forecast developmental milestones, determine optimal seawater transfer windows, and evaluate feeding efficiency. Users can simulate the impact of photoperiod manipulation on smoltification timing and predict survival probabilities based on physiological readiness and thermal history. Key tools include `predict_smoltification_milestones` for forecasting growth and `calculate_optimal_transfer_window` for maximizing seawater survival.

## Tools

### calculate_optimal_transfer_window
Determines the best time to move salmon from freshwater to seawater to maximize survival

### evaluate_feeding_efficiency
Analyzes how different feeding regimes impact the accumulation of thermal units and growth

### predict_smoltification_milestones
Predicts when a batch of salmon will reach specific developmental milestones

### simulate_photoperiod_impact
Forecasts how altering light cycles will shift the timing of smoltification

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the smoltification milestones for eggs of 4mm size with a temperature profile of 8 degrees Celsius, 16h photoperiod, and a feeding rate of 1.5%.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted date of physiological maturity is October 12th, 2024, with a projected size of 120g and an estimated condition factor of 1.2.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the optimal transfer window for salmon needing a 200g target weight and a minimum condition factor of 1.1?
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal transfer window is from June 15th to June 30th, with a predicted survival probability of 92%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How will changing the photoperiod from 12h to 16h affect the smoltification date?
```

**Response:** 
```
Increasing the photoperiod to 16h will accelerate the process, shifting the new smolt date forward by 14 days.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the model predict smoltification timing?**
The model uses degree-day accumulation, which calculates growth based on thermal units (temperature multiplied by time) and photoperiod cues.

**Can I use this to find the best time for seawater transfer?**
Yes, you can use `calculate_optimal_transfer_window` to find the specific period where salmon meet both target weight and physiological maturity requirements.

**How is fish health evaluated?**
The model estimates health using the condition factor and a proxy for gill Na+/K+ ATPase activity based on thermal and growth history.
