Piscada leverages AI to optimise fish feeding in sea-based aquaculture
- Published 20 March 2024; updated 23 March 2026; estimated reading time 3 minutes. Listed under Aquaculture and fisheries, and Technology.
- Piscada’s aquaculture platform combines IoT, AI, video and farm data to coordinate feeding at multiple sea sites from a remote operations centre. Staff monitor live video from submerged cameras and other information on a unified interface, then make feeding decisions for each pen. The page says a single remote operator centre can control feeding for up to 300 pens.
- The system aims to reduce excess feed, which the article says can pollute marine ecosystems, attract invasive species and add emissions through unnecessary feed production. Piscada says precision feeding may support fish growth, reduce disease and mortality, and eventually enable autonomous feeding. Reduced feed purchases and labour are also presented as cost benefits.
- Market context cites a global aquaculture market forecast from USD 290 billion in 2022 to USD 421 billion by 2030. Piscada says it has ten years of aquaculture experience and nearly 50% of Norway’s feeding-operations market; it sells directly in Scotland and through partners internationally. These are company figures reported in the article.
- Piscada also sells cloud systems for other sectors, including commercial-building management.
- Linked to SDG 2 (Zero hunger), SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and SDG 14 (Life below water) for food production, lower feed waste and reduced marine impacts.
