Aquabyte
A smart underwater vision system that precisely monitors fish health and farming efficiency.
Aquabyte is an innovative solution combining underwater hardware and AI vision analysis, built for modern aquaculture. Through high-resolution underwater cameras deployed in fish pens, the system can capture fish schools' dynamic images in real time and use advanced computer-vision algorithms to precisely monitor fish health, growth, and sea-lice infestation. This technology not only greatly reduces the frequency of manual inspection but, in a data-driven way, helps farmers make more scientific decisions.
What problem it solves
Traditional aquaculture relies heavily on manual visual inspection, which is not only inefficient but prone to error, making it hard to detect fish disease or malnutrition at the first moment. Aquabyte solves farmers' pain points in "precise feeding" and "disease prevention." The system can automatically analyze fish schools' feeding behavior to avoid feed waste and optimize growth efficiency; meanwhile, through automatic sea-lice detection, operators can take preventive measures in real time, effectively lowering fish mortality and ensuring stable farming quality and yield.
Who it's for and how to use it
Aquabyte is very suited to large commercial farms, aquaculture-tech companies, and operators committed to sustainable fisheries. Users just install the camera hardware in the fish pen, and the system automatically transmits images to a cloud platform for analysis. Farm managers can view fish schools' health data and growth trends in real time via a dashboard and adjust feeding strategy or medical intervention based on the system's suggestions, turning tedious monitoring work into an automated digital-management process.

FAQ
How does Aquabyte detect sea lice?
The system photographs fish images via high-resolution underwater cameras and uses computer vision to automatically identify the number of sea lice on the fish body surface, providing precise infestation data.
Can this system help save feed?
Yes — the system can analyze fish schools' feeding behavior in real time and automatically prompt to stop feeding when it detects the fish are full, reducing feed waste and lowering the impact on water quality.
Is the system applicable to all types of fish pens?
Aquabyte is mainly designed for large commercial net-pen farming; consulting a professional team before installation to assess whether your farming environment meets hardware-deployment needs is advised.
