A revolution below the surface

About us

Our precise fish measurements are transforming aquaculture forever

With OptoScale’s bioscope in the pen, you gain accurate insights into the development of your fish. We understand that every detail matters when it comes to salmon production.

That’s why precision is the key to everything we deliver. With real-time precise measurements, you can make better decisions that optimize your production and closely monitor the development and health of your fish. OptoScale enables us to take better care of our resources.

Our team of visionary thinkers, researchers, biologists, and engineers possesses the expertise that is revolutionizing aquaculture. We are dedicated to advancing responsible aquaculture and creating groundbreaking technology that prioritizes fish welfare, enhances efficiency in the aquaculture industry, and promotes sustainability.

However, precision is not just a goal for us; it’s a mindset that permeates everything we do. From the moment our equipment is unpacked to when the measurements are available on our website, we ensure that you can perform your tasks quickly, accurately, and safely.

OptoScale has always been committed to minimizing our environmental footprint. With pride, we operate in seven different countries and have been delivering our services for a total of seven years. During this time, we have deployed an impressive number of devices continuously collecting valuable data.
