Vertically integrated tilapia producer Regal Springs AG and aquaculture technology provider aquaManager have formed a new strategic alliance to deliver smarter automation of the former’s fish farming operations.
Having seen initiatives based on artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced algorithms successfully applied with more established species in marine environments, Regal Springs wants to be first to introduce these technologies into tilapia farming in inland deep-water lakes.
According to Alois Hofbauer, CEO of Regal Springs, the collaboration “aligns perfectly” with the company’s strategy for environmental, social and economic sustainability (ESG), and is a building block in its “commitment to the all-important Blue Foods Movement”.
Hofbauer said, “As we create a sustainable fish farming industry for the future, we need to adopt cutting-edge technology, so that we can farm fish more efficiently and sustainably, but at the same time continue to safeguard our waters, now and for the future.”
As part of the project, aquaManager cameras will capture and record data from the tilapia as they swim in their lake pens. This information will help enable waste reduction and improve the sustainability of Regal Springs’ operations.
