Ensure the welfare of salmon with precise data
“LetSea has for many years experienced that the analyses and figures align with reality. We now have a management tool we can use for a wide range of purposes.”
WELFARE
Now it’s easier to ensure fish welfare.
With OptoScale’s welfare module, monitoring is simple. You have all the information you need to assess the fish’s status and development – at anytime. With real-time data and clear trend overviews, you can detect issues early.
No manual handling. Better decisions.
Laksvel – the first step toward a pen full of happy salmon
With Laksvel, we’ve gathered the 13 most important welfare parameters and automated the monitoring for you. With just a few clicks, you gain full control over the salmon’s status – wherever you are, whenever you need it. The web portal provides both detailed insights and the big picture, enabling you to make informed decisions based on precise data.
13 welfare parameters – from fin condition to snout wounds
OptoScale has automated the Laksvel protocol using AI. To describe the fish’s status, we use a simple scale from 0 to 3 to indicate the severity of each parameter. This system is easy to understand, with 0 representing optimal condition and 3 signaling a need for action. By using this method, changes in salmon welfare can be easily tracked over time, and potential problem areas become visible at an early stage.
The web portal – clear information and trends
The web portal provides an easy overview of the salmon’s welfare status. Based on the combined score of the 13 parameters, you always have control over the fish’s overall condition. At the same time, it’s easy to see which parameters are showing positive or negative trends, allowing you to take targeted actions where needed.
Take full control over wound development in the salmon
Using machine vision, thousands of fish can be examined daily, giving you a precise percentage of fish in the pen with wounds. Fish are classified based on wound size—“small,” “medium,” or “large.” You gain insight into how wounds develop, whether they are growing or shrinking in size, and can track the number of wounds per fish.
Take action faster
If you want to investigate the cause, you can evaluate the latest wounds detected with high-resolution images. For winter sores, it can be valuable to gain an overview early in the outbreak. This enables you to quickly implement measures through nutrition or choice of delousing method, which can help keep the development in check.
Plan slaughtering better
Use the wound module to evaluate delousing operations and examine how handling affects the fish’s skin health. With daily updates on wound size, it also becomes easier to estimate quality and plan for the fish’s slaughter.
OptoScale’s image quality and zoom function also allow you to inspect a random sample of fish and investigate any abnormalities. This feature is available for all with bioscope version 2.0.
Just like with Laksvel, you get all wound information in the web portal—simple and clear.
Monitor swimming speed
With our automatic measurement of fish swimming speed, you have full control over fish behavior – at all hours of the day.
Precise real-time data enables you to take immediate action in response to abnormal speed.
Say goodbye to manual and inefficient stopwatch measurements. Welcome healthier fish of higher quality.
