The Fish Site —
Hatcheries producing sea bass and sea bream have traditionally relied on manual visual assessment to identify weak or unviable fish at an early stage. This process is labour-intensive, highly variable and provides little biological accuracy at the earliest life stages.
Aquaticode has entered into an agreement with Cooke España to develop a new artificial inteligence (AI) based phenotyping product line aimed at supporting earlier and more consistent decision-making in bass and bream hatcheries. The collaboration explores how AI phenotyping can be applied to fry at commercial scale, representing a new direction for the industry.
