Abstract: Aquaculture management depends on maintaining fish health, on food and water quality, which are driven by production efficiency. Numerical models can simulate water flow, dissolved oxygen and nutrients variation (production and dispersion), and fish growth, complementing real-time data. The SISdATA platform integrates observational data, CFD, biochemical, and data-driven models for traditional tanks and cage nets across the Atlantic Area. A major challenge is embedding these models into an intuitive, scenario-based interface that enables users to explore management strategies, anticipate risks, and optimize operations. This paper presents the design and implementation of SISdATA's interface for three core models: water renewal; aeration; and fish growth, while supporting future expansion. Interactive simulations and visualizations help researchers and farmers make informed, proactive decisions, enhancing sustainability, safety, and productivity in aquaculture systems.
