Technology development in cAIge will allow automated, machine-assisted monitoring of fish health and welfare in aquaculture farms at hitherto unprecedented precision levels.

This is to be achieved by leveraging advanced AI-based computer vision technology along with individual fish re-identification algorithms for uninterrupted welfare assessment over time. In addition, the relationship between observed welfare status, environmental factors, and farming practices will be integrated into comprehensive models, thereby gaining a better understanding of how these factors interact to shape optimal holding conditions of fish in aquaculture. Monitoring the welfare and responses to operational and environmental factors of individual fish over a prolonged period represents a significant advancement over current practices, enabling researchers to assess fish welfare and behavior on an unprecedented scale.
