Data-driven trout farming
There are many similarities between trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and salmon, but the differences are significant enough that traditional systems for salmon monitoring cannot be used for trout production. Therefore, we have developed our own machine learning models for trout. Based on these unique models, the Aquabyte system captures over one million images from the trout pen daily, which are analyzed to provide precise data and information.
Weight calculation
The system delivers weight and biomass data through the Aquabyte User Portal. With daily and accurate updates, the our weight graphs provide valuable insights into the growth trends of the trout. When harvest reports are generated in the Aquabyte User Portal, the system also provides information on the estimated weight distribution (bucket size) for the trout in the pen level.
Daily updates on lice counts
As with our salmon product, lice on trout are counted daily with high precision, providing excellent insight into lice development. The system also generates predictions for expected lice development for each pen one and two weeks ahead. These predictions have high accuracy and serve as an important tool for making decisions about if and when delousing treatments should be carried out. Good insight into the actual lice situation, and expected future development allows for costly delousing treatments to be better timed, postponed or even avoided.
Welfare monitoring
Aquabyte monitors a total of twelve external welfare parameters for trout, including eye injuries, maturation, deformities, and wounds. Welfare data is updated daily, allowing for early detection of potential issues, tracking of trends, and decision-making based on actual status rather than assumptions.
Synergistic effects
Our three main products LICE, WEIGHT, and WISE Welfare can be used individually, but the synergistic effects of combining them are significant. The comprehensive insights from all three products provide a better overall understanding of the conditions in the pens and can be crucial in making the best decisions for both the welfare of the trout and company profitability.
«Penflix» – live streaming from the pen
As the only monitoring system for weight, welfare, and lice, the Aquabyte system provides you with live video feed directly from the pen’s camera. This allows you to get closer, observe the fish to see if they are still feeding, and use the camera’s depth sensor to verify the fish’s depth.
