Innovasea, a provider of aquatic solutions for aquaculture and fish tracking, has introduced a commercially available seabream algorithm for biomass estimation.
As part of Innovasea’s AI-powered BiomassPro solution, the new algorithm was rigorously tested and reportedly delivered over 95% accuracy in real-time with gilthead seabream weight estimations for Aquafrais Cannes, a sustainable aquaculture company.
Innovasea’s BiomassPro features a fully automated, lightweight (7.5 kg) camera that is easy to deploy and move between pens. Using an advanced algorithm, it analyzes fish stocks and autonomously reports precise biomass estimates to an intuitive dashboard, eliminating the need for manual sampling.
Aquafrais Cannes operates more than 150 offshore pens. With Innovasea’s BiomassPro solution, camera setup allegedly takes just five minutes and requires only a single person to carry it out. Previously, this setup process involved four workers and lasted over half an hour at each location.
Real-time data, tracked in the BiomassPro dashboard, lets Aquafrais Cannes improve growth performance through better monitoring, optimize feed costs with more accurate feed rations, streamline workforce efficiency, and improve fish welfare through non-intrusive sampling.
Innovasea’s BiomassPro supports six species – Atlantic salmon, cobia, gilthead seabream, king salmon, red snapper and yellowtail. A European sea bass algorithm is scheduled for release later this year.
Rafael Cordero, Innovasea VP, commented, “We are excited to expand our multi-species offering and bring the first gilthead seabream biomass solution to market. Our compact, portable solution is uniquely suited to meet the demands of seabream farmers who are overseeing numerous pens and require accurate, efficient biomass estimation across their operations.”
Jérôme Hémar, General Manager at Aquafrais, added, “Thanks to BiomassPro, we get more precise estimates in less time. Now, we can better predict sales and reassign our lean team from biomass calculations to other vital farm tasks.”
