The Bioscope – your eyes under water
Meet our three bioscopes – robust on the outside, razor sharp on the inside.
Designed to give you precise insight into what’s happening beneath the surface – so you’re always one step ahead.
With tens of thousands of images every day, you get full control of your fish’s status and development – and a much better basis for making the right decisions.
If you want that little extra
What if your bioscope could do a little more?
Here’s a small taste of some of the additional features that can join the team.
These give you more precise measurements and make data collection a breeze
Perfect for those who are looking for precision and full control.
“I have tried many different methods and devices for biomass estimation, and I can confidently say: The bioscope from OptoScale is without a doubt the best solution for efficient and accurate biomass measurement.”
– Christer Johansen, Operations Manager SalMar
Bioscope 3.0
Our latest bioscope builds on the best of previous versions. In addition to automatic lice counting, welfare and weight monitoring, it’s been upgraded with more features – and is now the only camera you need for a full overview of your fish’s growth and health.
What’s new?
Feeding camera with pellet detection: Wesee exactly how your fish are responding to feeding, so you can optimize your feeding strategy and reduce waste.
Integrated environmental sensors: Continuously measures oxygen, temperature and key ocean parameters
Planning and prediction: Bioplan is an AI-powered tool that gives you recommendations and forecasts – from growth and lice pressure to recommended harvesting plans.
Taking the best with you
Welfare status: Monitors 14 key parameters – from scale loss and fin status to wound development. Gives you a real-time, holistic picture of your fish’s health and well-being.
Automatic lice counting: With an exemption from the authorities, you can skip manual counts and get continuous, precise lice counts. Distinguishes between different stages of lice.
Growth and development: Continuously monitors your salmon’s growth and development, so you always know how your fish is doing in production.
Pellet detection
By combining a pellet detector, environmental data and real-time analysis of the fish, you get a clearer picture of what is actually happening in the pen. This provides a solid basis for decision-making – where the goal is always higher growth rates, lower feed conversion ratios and better control of the biology.
When you know how your fish behave, what they eat and how the environment affects their appetite, you can adapt your feeding strategy with precision.
How the bioscope works
After a simple installation, the bioscope will deliver 40,000 approved measurements every day.
Our bioscopes feature “plug and play” functionality that allows for a quick and efficient installation. This eliminates the need for extensive cabling and complex configuration. You can start monitoring the pen more quickly, saving valuable time and resources.
Another advantage of “plug and play” is that the bioscope can easily be moved between different salmon pens as needed. This is ideal for those who want to control fish health at various locations.
With edge computing technology, data can be processed on the pen where coverage and network access may be limited. This ensures constant access to fresh and accurate data on weight, health status, and lice counts, enabling rapid and informed decision-making for optimal production.
Easy Installation
Simple installation and operational use of the bioscope ensure easy handling for caretakers.
Plug & Play
The system comes ready for use and automatically starts transmitting data upon deployment.
Reliable Reporting
Reporting of 40,000 approved measurements per day, per unit provides high security for correct reporting of biomass, welfare and lice.
Great Integration
Access to data via API for integration to the customer’s own analysis and management systems.
Top-notch Customer Service
Dedicated customer support ensures stable operation and helps you to correctly interpret the data.
Real-time
Convenient access and an intuitive user interface for real-time analytics provide a solid understanding of the situation and a basis for taking action.
