The algorithm has been released as part of Innovasea's AI-powered biomass solution, BiomassPro, which already supports six species, including Atlantic salmon, red snapper, and yellowtail. The lightweight device analyses fish stocks and autonomously reports precise biomass estimates to an intuitive dashboard, eliminating the need for manual sampling.
"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," said Rafael Cordero, VP at Innovasea, in a press release.
Prior to its release, the new algorithm was tested rigorously in conjunction with Aquafrais Cannes, a significant player in the French aquaculture industry. During these tests, the device was shown to deliver real-time biomass estimations with up to 95 percent accuracy, and greatly reduced the amount of labour needed for the task.
"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," commented Jérôme Hémar, general manager at Aquafrais.
Following the release of this latest update, Innovasea is expected to unveil an algorithm for European sea bass later this year.
