Furuno Norway is proud to have contributed significantly to this development, with our unique expertise in hydroacoustics and our good and solid cooperation with the Norwegian fishing fleet.
AQUACULTURE
Aqua Scope is our solution for the aquaculture segment. In additon to the utilization of advanced hydroacoustics, we have for this solution integrated aspects of biology and machine learning to effectively cater to the distinct needs associated with observing farmed salmon.
Aqua Scope features functionalities that ensure effective management of biomass growth and also monitor behavior, offering unique insights into the health and welfare of the fish.
Our approach enables a unique insight into weight distribution and variations in the biomass over time. By better understanding these dynamics, breeders can make more precise decisions that directly affect both production efficiency and fish welfare.
WATEHER OBSERVATIONS
Furuno Weather Radar offers the opportunity to fill the coverage gaps that the larger weather radars systems have. Strategically placed, local weather radars can improve the accuracy of local weather forecasts and contribute to better utilization of resources when weather-related measures are necessary.
