Harnessing the Power of AI Data Intelligence for Sustainable Aquaculture

Our team at Kvarøy Arctic are on a mission to redefine the sustainability standards in the seafood industry and inspire people around the world to see aquaculture in a new light. But to achieve an even higher level of sustainability, we wanted to enhance farm data insights and streamline operations. Our dedication to innovation led us to explore the possibilities of AI data intelligence, teaming up with Manolin to unlock the power of data.

Aquaculture Enters a New Era

Norway is home to over a thousand fish farms, with 78% of them farming salmon. In 2022, these farms produced a staggering 1.5 million tonnes of salmon, accounting for half of the world's total production. In our journey as farmers to raise this volume of blue food protein, we all face common challenges like sea lice monitoring, disease tracking, and optimizing feed usage. As believers in innovative tech solutions that have the power to improve the health and wellbeing of our fish, we turned to data intelligence as a solution to support us in these are areas, as well as explore new opportunities.

AI Data Intelligence Unleashed with Manolin

This is where Manolin comes into play! Together with them, we’ve embraced a new era of data intelligence, leveraging cutting-edge aquaculture AI platform. Manolin's seamless data consolidation is in one centralized platform. With it, we have unlocked operational benefits like automated sustainability reporting, easy data migration to new systems, and accelerated aquaculture feed research.

Automating ASC & Sustainability Reporting

In recent years, sustainable certifications have become a purchasing prerequisite for consumers who want to find products that meet their values. The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) is a prominent organization setting the standard for responsible aquaculture practices.Earning the ASC certification highlights a farms’ commitment to rearing high-quality seafood where sustainability and minimal environmental impact is at the operational core.

However, sustainability reporting can be time-consuming and complex. Gathering data from various sources and file types can be challenging, making accurate and up-to-date reporting essential for decision-making.

Manolin's platform simplified this process for our team, automating ASC reporting and saving countless hours of valuable time and resources. Above all, having easy access to this data allows us to continue to innovate in our sustainability journey.

Empowering Aquaculture Research

Manolin's platform transformed how our team engages in aquaculture research, contributing cleaner and more comprehensive in-field data. By participating in research initiatives through data submissions, we can now drive innovation throughout the industry while also gaining a deeper insight into the efficiency of our farm operations and how to continuously improve.

The Role of AI in Shaping Aquaculture's Future

Unlocking the power of data intelligence is a game-changer for sustainable aquaculture. We’re proud to team up with partners like Manolin to be at the forefront of this revolution, promoting ecological responsibility while advancing fish nutrition research. Together, we can all forge a path towards a more sustainable future for the aquaculture industry.

"With Manolin's data intelligence platform, we can effortlessly integrate our sustainability certifications into our daily operations. This seamless integration not only saves us time but also allows us to communicate our sustainability efforts to consumers and stakeholders with greater efficiency and accuracy."
