Innovasea announced that its real-time biomass estimation solution based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), named BiomassPro, is already on the market, specifically at Creative Salmon's fish farms on Vancouver Island, Canada, after proving 99.7% accuracy in on-site tests.
Artificial intelligence has come to stay and the world of aquaculture is no exception. More and more projects and companies are launching initiatives to test this technology, which usually fascinates everyone involved in it. Innovasea is one of these examples.
BiomassPro is a solution based on AI that calculates the size and weight of fish stocks in real time. This data assists fish farms in optimizing production and reducing feeding costs. Moreover, the system is able to make very accurate growth projections based on the data it collects, which allows for improved resource planning and sales forecasting. A useful formula that consequently helps to increase revenues.
Because of this potential, Creative Salmon acquired the solution after using it for six months as part of a pilot program that allowed Innovasea to fine-tune the algorithm for king salmon. Now the technology is part of the four marine centers in Tofino, British Columbia.
As Barb Cannon, biology manager at Creative Salmon explained, their system has improved their operations. "BiomassPro has increased our sample sizes, improved estimation accuracy, improved efficiency, and allowed data to be available in an online platform so reports can be done remotely and at any time."
The AI revolution will undoubtedly offer plenty of advances to the industry.
