Welfare

From sea pens to land-based RAS and smolt facilities, Aquabyte Welfare integrates seamlessly into your operations – providing the insights you need to optimize fish health and operational efficiency. With 17 welfare parameters monitored automatically and continuously updated, you gain the complete picture, readily accessible in our intuitive web portal.

Detect deviations early

Welfare data is updated daily – providing early alerts of deviations, so you can take action before small issues become big problems.

Less manual handling

With our automatic welfare monitoring, you reduce the need for manual handling and sampling - minimizing stress and injury to the fish.

More than Laksvel

By measuring as many as 17 welfare parameters, our welfare product goes beyond the Laksvel protocol and sets a new standard for fish welfare monitoring.

Make decisions based on welfare insights

Aquabyte Welfare (WISE) is built on the Laksvel protocol but expands it with additional welfare parameters. The result is market-leading insight into fish health and condition, based on monitoring of 17 welfare parameters – including whether wounds are growing or healing. With daily status updates and a clear overview of development trends, you gain a unique foundation for making the best and most profitable decisions – from day-to-day operations to long-term strategic planning – always with fish welfare in focus.

"If you observe that the number of recorded head damages in WELFARE increases, and this happens after delousing or the installation of new equipment in the cage, it’s easy to put two and two together and identify the cause of why this is happening."

Gunnar Berg, Product & Quality Manager, Aquabyte

See the big picture – and every detail

In our user portal, you get a complete overview of the site’s overall status, while individual pens with potential welfare challenges are automatically flagged. Welfare data is continuously updated, ensuring you always have detailed insight into the current welfare condition of the fish. And with graphs displayin developments over time, it becomes easy to identify trends that may require action.

High-resolution images captured by our camera allow you to closely monitor the welfare of your fish

From land to sea

Our system monitors fish from 50 grams all the way to harvest size, allowing you to minimize harmful manual handling while the fish are in the tanks. And with reliable and detailed insight into fish size and welfare from the smolt stage, you can optimize the transition from land to sea pens and ensure the best possible conditions and follow-up during the critical first weeks in the ocean.

AI-powered decision support based on more than one million images per day

Our cameras capture more than one million images from each pen every day. These images are analyzed by our advanced AI model, and the resulting data provides unique insights into both the fish and its environment — serving as a powerful decision-support tool throughout the entire production cycle.

From sea to harvest

Even when fish in different pens have the same weight, both welfare status and superior rate can vary significantly. Aquabyte Welfare provides additional insight to better plan harvests and determine which pens should be prioritized. When harvest decisions are based on detailed real-time data rather than assumptions, you can make better choices that both improve fish welfare and increase the company’s profitability.
