Innovasea adds sea bass to biomass monitoring system
Supplier now has algorithms for seven species of farmed fish
Fish farming supplier Innovasea has announced a new biomass camera algorithm for European sea bass. The solution comes just three months after the release of its seabream algorithm.
United States-based Innovasea said the new, complimentary algorithm addition means that the company now offers the first commercially available duo of biomass estimation for sea bass and seabream.
“This release addresses a critical need for farms often growing these species together,” said Innovasea vice president Tim Stone. “With the ability to track multiple species through a single, intelligent solution, farm operators and managers can better streamline workflows and drive profits through more data-driven decisions.”
Real-time insights
Innovasea now offers algorithms for seven species in its BiomassPro artificial intelligence-powered platform that delivers real-time insights into fish size and weight estimates for improved resource planning and reliable sales forecasting.
The centrepiece is a lightweight camera, which can be programmed to monitor any one of the offered species, eliminating the need for separate equipment for multi-species farms.
Once inserted into the pen, the camera autonomously collects and analyses data, viewable on a user-friendly dashboard. Farm operators can compare current growth rates to past performance for more precise, data-driven decisions.
The seven species now available in Innovasea’s BiomassPro solution are: Atlantic salmon, cobia, European sea bass, gilthead seabream, king salmon, red snapper and yellowtail kingfish.
