In aquaculture, an undetected outbreak can destroy an entire harvest.
Real cases of how the most advanced salmon farms and aquaculture centers use AI to monitor biomass in real time, detect disease early, and optimize feeding.
Chile is the world's second-largest salmon producer. AI is defining who leads the next decade.
The aquaculture technology market exceeds US$700 million and grows at 15% annually. Farming sites adopting AI are reducing mortality losses, optimizing feed conversion, and anticipating disease outbreaks — in an industry where margins depend on operational precision.

What other salmon farms and aquaculture centers have already achieved
Not endless pilot projects. Production implementations, in real farming sites.
Cermaq: AI for real-time sea lice detection
FISH HEALTHCermaq — Noruega y Chile — sistema iFarm — 2020-2024
Cermaq implemented underwater cameras with AI to detect and count sea lice (Caligus and Lepeophtheirus) in real time, without the need for manual sampling. The system alerts when parasite load exceeds the risk threshold, enabling immediate intervention with lower medication use. Early detection reduced lice-related mortality and antiparasitic drug use.

Mowi: automatic feeding guided by computer vision
FEEDING OPTIMIZATIONMowi — Noruega, Escocia y Canadá — sistema AquaCloud — 2021-2024
Mowi implemented underwater cameras with computer vision models that detect fish appetite in real time — based on their behavior and the amount of feed reaching the bottom — to automatically adjust the feeding rate. The result is a better feed conversion ratio (FCR) and reduced feed waste, which generates environmental problems and unnecessary costs.

SalmarAker: offshore aquaculture center with integrated AI
ADVANCED OPERATIONSSalmarAker Blue — Noruega — plataforma Ocean Farm 1 — 2017-2024
SalmarAker operates Ocean Farm 1, the world's first offshore aquaculture platform, with AI systems integrated across all operations: biomass monitoring, automatic feeding, mortality detection, water quality, and fish behavior. The platform demonstrates that high-tech aquaculture can operate with lower environmental impact and greater control than traditional sites.

Three concrete starting points
Not what could happen. What aquaculture sites with a similar profile are already executing.
Continuous health monitoring and early disease detection
Underwater cameras with computer vision models can detect changes in fish behavior, visible lesions, parasite load, and early signs of disease — without manual sampling that stresses the fish and exposes personnel. Early detection allows intervention before an outbreak escalates.
Highest ROI in sites with a history of health issuesAI-optimized automatic feeding
Feed is the largest operating cost in aquaculture. AI can detect in real time when fish are satiated — from their behavior and the amount of pellet reaching the bottom — and automatically adjust dosing. Less waste, better feed conversion, lower environmental impact.
Direct impact on the primary operating costBiomass estimation without sample fishing
Estimating the weight of biomass in a pen has historically required sample fishing — stressful for the fish and labor-intensive. Stereo-camera systems with AI can estimate biomass continuously and non-invasively with high accuracy. Better harvest planning, better management of the production cycle.
Impact on animal welfare and harvest planningWe don't sell AI,
we sell adoption.
We understand how your company works today and build the bridge so AI does the heavy lifting, giving your team back time for strategic tasks.
We audit processes, interview teams and map the highest-impact opportunities. You leave with a prioritized roadmap.
We build the first agent or workflow in production. We measure ROI from day one. No PowerPoints, only results.
We train teams to own the technology. The agent becomes their tool, not ours.
We expand what works. New processes, new teams. AI stops being a project and becomes an operational advantage.
We don't sell technology. We sell harvests that arrive complete.
We want to understand how your site operates today, what the main sources of mortality and loss are, and where information reaches decision-makers too late or incomplete.
