Aquaculture Biomass Monitor
Makes it easy to estimate the size of
the biomass in the net pen
Online monitoring of fish welfare in the net pen
Aquaculture Biomass Monitor is the new generation fully automated sonar system for biomass measurement in the net pen aquaculture. The ABM collects data from thousands of fish per day to be analyzed and presented in customized reports. This will help the farmer to increase feed efficiency, detect fish weight, monitor behavior and vertical stratification, as well as giving an analysis of the daily growth of the net pen populations.
The technology is based on proven scientific split beam active acoustic technology, used for decades in for open-ocean fish stock assessment. Over 10.000 hours of net pen data have been collected, analyzed and calibrated with slaughter reports to develop the accurate fish size estimation software.

How the Aquaculture Biomass Monitor works

By floating on the surface, the Aquaculture Biomass Monitor gathers information from thousands of fish in the entire water column, automatically calculating the size, depth and swim speed for each fish detected.
The data collected is analyzed and put together in online reports – based on the data you have chosen to be measured.
