Ace Aquatec sends camera system to Japan
Having unveiled its A-Biomass camera in Europe last year, aquaculture technology specialists Ace Aquatec has now launched the device in the Japanese market, with its debut made at this year’s Japan International Seafood and Technology Expo in Tokyo.
According to Ace Aquatec, the A-Biomass is an advanced underwater camera, designed to bring more efficiency and precision to biomass measurement and distributions of a range of fish species. The camera uses machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time millimetre accuracy, which could ultimately transform the way fish farmers monitor and grade their fish stock.
Weighing only 8.5kg, the fully-automated camera is smaller and easier to deploy than many on the market. It is already being used by clients in Scotland, New Zealand and the US.
Having successfully rolled out in these regions, Ace Aquatec now has its sights set on the east Asian market with the company’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Tara McGregor-Woodhams, Head of Sales Ben Perry and Technical Sales and Partnerships Manager Tom Cryans attending the Tokyo event to share insights into the company’s products with delegates.
They will also be visiting various key Japanese aquaculture producers with partners from the British Embassy in Tokyo and Scottish Development International.
“Our A-Biomass cameras are helping farmers optimise feed and growth rates and transform the way they monitor their salmon stock. Over the course of our visit to Japan we hope to not only nurture our connections in this crucial region but also introduce the A-Biomass device to a new market, in line with our ambitions of bringing Scottish technology to the aquaculture industry on a global scale,” McGregor-Woodhams said.
