About
Innovasea is a pioneering technology company focused on sustainable aquaculture and fish tracking. Their aquaculture solutions include breakthrough fully submersible net pens that allow farms to remain operational while completely submerged, enabling open-ocean fish farming in previously inaccessible environments. The precision aquaculture platform integrates wireless environmental sensors, cloud communications, underwater video streaming, biomass estimation cameras, and farm management software to give operators full visibility and control over their operations. On the fish tracking side, Innovasea's NexTrak System combines acoustic receivers, acoustic tags, hydrophones, and data loggers to monitor fish movement across diverse aquatic environments. HydroAI, their AI-powered fish counting solution, uses computer vision to automate population tracking and reduce manual counting overhead. The Fathom software suite processes and visualizes tracking data for researchers and conservationists. Innovasea also offers fine-scale positioning, acoustic release solutions, environmental data loggers, and consulting and design services. Their cloud-based platform centralizes data from sensors, cameras, and tracking equipment into actionable dashboards. The platform is suited for commercial aquaculture operators, marine biologists, fisheries managers, and environmental monitoring agencies seeking data-driven decision-making tools for ocean farming and fish conservation.
