Individualised farming, which is at the heart of iFarm, truly addresses animal welfare. It will be a game changer for salmon farming as it also will address all the key challenges related to fish health, sea lice and escapes.
Entire facility equipped iFarm
For the first time, an entire Cermaq sea site is now fully equipped with iFarm set-up in all net pens. We are testing 6 different sensor houses to explore which is most suitable in regards to fish behavior in iFarm. In addition we will use the site as a test bed for the iFarm sorter and sensor system.
BioSort places sensor technology in large scale cage
The BioSort iFarm sensor is installed in a large scale cage for the first time. Several news medias covered this event, here are some examples:
