The firm develops advanced hardware with AI-driven software to improve fish welfare, optimise production and reduce operating costs. By embedding artificial intelligence and machine learning throughout fish production, its systems lower the cost per kilo, enhance welfare outcomes and support sustainable protein growth globally.
Ace Aquatec’s A-BIOMASS camera is a designed to accurately measure the length and weight of individual fish in challenging, low-light underwater environments. The system continuously captures and analyses large volumes of data in real time, enabling farmers to make more informed, data-driven decisions around feeding, stock management and harvesting. This helps improve operational efficiency, sustainability and fish welfare.
Ace Aquatec has also developed several tools to improve welfare across the aquaculture and marine sectors including its award-winning Humane Stunner Universal (A-HSU) – a cutting-edge fish stunning system that enables efficient, high-quality harvesting while supporting the highest standards of fish welfare. The technology is used by producers worldwide to deliver a fast, reliable and humane process.
Tara McGregor-Woodhams, chief sales & marketing officer of Ace Aquatec said in a press release: “This award is recognition of the innovation, expertise and ambition that drives everything we do at Ace Aquatec. A-BIOMASS demonstrates how cutting-edge AI and imaging technology can help producers make better decisions, improve fish welfare and operate more sustainably.
“As global demand for responsibly produced seafood continues to grow, farmers need smarter tools that deliver both economic and environmental benefits. We are proud to be developing world-leading technology in Scotland that is solving real challenges for producers around the world, while strengthening the future of sustainable aquaculture.”
