Aquaculture data intelligence company Manolin* has launched its new reporting feature in Watershed, giving aquaculture farm teams a configurable environment for reporting and analysis built directly on the health, production, treatment, and environmental data they already track in Watershed. The release is the company's largest single product expansion in five years, designed to address the growing gap between aquaculture data collection and the analytical tools available to farm teams.
Aquaculture operations have added data collection points at a significant pace over the past decade. Welfare monitoring systems, environmental sensors, feed platforms, diagnostic tools and population-management software now generate records across multiple systems, each with different formats and update cycles. Farm teams running analysis across those records have largely relied on off-the-shelf BI tools or custom-built solutions. Neither was designed with aquaculture data structures in mind, nor was either built to understand the biological data that makes treatment, mortality, and production comparisons meaningful across sites, generations, and transfer events.
The new reporting feature integrates this analysis directly within Watershed, where fish health, treatment, mortality and environmental records are already connected and traced at the population level. The feature ships with more than 75 data metrics, including welfare scores and welfare indicators, sea lice pressure, PCR test results, pharmaceuticals, risk modelling across 20 diseases, and accumulated mortality percentages. Reports are built from configurable, drag-and-drop widget layouts, measured against operation-specific goals, and display performance at daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual intervals. Data reflects the most recent records from connected farm systems, without manual export or refresh steps between source and analysis.
"The amount of data aquaculture operations are generating has outpaced the tools built to analyse it," said Tony Chen, chief executive of Manolin in a press release. "Farms are running welfare monitoring systems, environmental sensors, feed platforms, and diagnostic tools that each produce records in different formats on different timelines. The gap between data collection and analysis has largely been filled by manual processes and general-purpose tools that weren't built to understand biological data. This release is built for that gap. We want farm teams spending their time on the analysis, not on assembling the inputs for it."
Developed in direct response to feedback from farm operations globally, including teams across Norway, Scotland, Australia and the Mediterranean, the expansion addresses key operational priorities such as welfare indicator access, flexible report layouts, and goal tracking. Watershed connects these vital records through Manolin's population tracing capability, which maintains comprehensive fish history across grading, transfer, regrouping, and harvest events to provide a seamless analytical foundation.
