The world’s largest producer of Atlantic salmon, MOWI, has selected Innovasea’s Aquaculture Intelligence (AI) systems to monitor twenty of its Scottish salmon farms.

The AI system will monitor dissolved oxygen and temperature at each farm by using cableless sensors. In turn, this will provide the farms, central management, and the MOWI fish health teams with real time data and alerts on changing oxygen concentrations.

Innovasea's wireless aquaculture monitoring system aquaCurrent allows producers to monitor environmental conditions online in real time. Each farm is populated with a suite of cableless sensors called aquaMeasures, which use a unique underwater acoustic transmission protocol to send data to a central telemetry unit called the aquaHub. The aquaHub pushes the data online in real time, over the WiFi, cellular or Iridium network.

Other monitoring systems – e.g. meterological stations, current monitors and wave and tide sensors – can also be added.

As Innovasea’s UK distributor, RS Aqua worked with MOWI to specify the multisite system and its custom online data portal.
