Losses and incidents
Mortality, predation, weather, theft: declare and trace every loss.

Losses are part of the trade. Ignoring them or estimating them in bulk once a quarter deprives you of valuable information for steering, planning and negotiating (insurance, indemnities, disputes). OstraOS models four distinct causes for fine-grained analysis.
Four causes, one logic
- Mortality: biological losses (disease, thermal stress, summer mortality, Herpesvirus, Vibrio).
- Predation: oyster drills, crabs, sea bream, starfish, birds.
- Weather: storms, heatwaves, frost, floods, surges.
- Theft: missing stock, to report to authorities and document here.
Every loss automatically updates the lot's stock and feeds the steering indicators: recent losses, trends, zone-by-zone comparison. A read that can shift your rearing practices.
Tip
Capture the reason and precise zone at entry. That metadata makes the difference for insurance claims and indemnity requests.
