Make decisions based on welfare insights

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. The system can be adapted to site-specific challenges and has been developed in close collaboration with fish farmers.

"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

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-driven insights throughout the entire production cycle

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 pens have fish of the same weight, welfare status and Superior rate can vary greatly. Aquabyte WELFARE provides the insight needed to plan harvests more effectively and prioritise the right pens. By basing harvest decisions on detailed real-time data rather than assumptions, you can improve fish welfare while increasing profitability.
