What Is the CageEye Project?
CageEye is a Norwegian aquatech company that’s all about helping fish farmers get to know their fish better. Using hydroacoustics, they monitor fish welfare and improve feeding practices. Rooted deeply in research and developed through close collaboration with the aquaculture industry, CageEye is shaping the future of smarter, more sustainable fish farming. It’s not just tech for tech’s sake — it’s about making fish farming more efficient and kinder to the fish themselves.
Main Benefits of CageEye Technology
Here’s what CageEye brings to the table:
- Historical data on fish behavior — so farmers can learn from the past
- Real-time fish positioning — know exactly where the fish are, anytime
- Equipment positioning — keep track of gear and sensors effortlessly
- 24/7 monitoring — day and night, no matter the visibility or sunlight
- Feeding Planner and Smart Feeding — tools designed to optimize feeding efficiency and fish welfare
- Support — ongoing assistance to make sure everything runs smoothly
- 100% fish analyzed with representative coverage — no fish left behind
How Discovery Works
The Discovery system uses hydroacoustics to measure and understand fish behavior, both historically and in real-time. This means fish farmers get a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface, regardless of water visibility or sunlight. It’s like having X-ray vision for your fish cages. Plus, it tracks equipment positioning, so everything is accounted for and easy to manage.
Feeding Optimization with CageEye Feeding
CageEye Feeding is designed to boost efficiency, consistency, and fish welfare during feeding times. It’s not just about throwing food into the water; it’s about smart feeding. The system combines historical data, real-time fish positioning, and equipment tracking with advanced tools like the Feeding Planner and Smart Feeding. This helps farmers feed their fish just right — not too much, not too little — which is better for the fish and the environment.
How Hydroacoustics Makes a Difference
Hydroacoustics is the magic behind CageEye’s monitoring. It works regardless of water clarity or sunlight, covering a large volume of the cage to ensure consistent data collection. Over years of R&D and hardware improvements, CageEye has developed its own sensors and cage cabinet that process signals directly on the cage. This means reliable, real-time data 24/7, no matter the conditions. It’s a game-changer for fish welfare monitoring.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 2: Zero Hunger — by optimizing fish production and feeding, CageEye supports sustainable food sources.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production — smart feeding reduces waste and environmental impact.
- SDG 14: Life Below Water — monitoring fish welfare helps maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure — innovative hydroacoustic technology advances aquaculture practices.
