Aquaculture data

Pens, tanks and seasons on dashboards you can trust.

Fish farms and hatcheries have years of readings and records spread across monitoring systems, spreadsheets and clipboards. We bring them into one place, check them for gaps and impossible values, and put the figures your managers ask for on dashboards with one written definition each.

// what matters here

What is different in this industry.

01

One place for the readings

Sensor history and site records in one database, kept when a site link drops.

02

Checked on the way in

Missing, doubled and impossible readings are held back and shown, not hidden in an average.

03

Figures defined once

Survival, growth and feed conversion each have one written meaning, so every report counts them the same way.

// example projects

Priced examples for this service.

Each one is hypothetical, labelled as such, and priced live from our rate card. Open any of them in the estimator and make it yours.

Example projectWeb appBot with a web dashboard

Pen and tank monitoring

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A salmon farm with several sites reads oxygen, temperature and feeding on separate screens, and a low-oxygen alarm at night depends on someone looking at the right one.

// What we would build

A web dashboard that reads oxygen, temperature and salinity sensors at every pen and tank through gateways at each site, keeps the history when the site link drops, and sends alarms to the on-call staff on Telegram, who acknowledge them from the bot. Alarm limits are the ones your farm manager and veterinarian set.

// What is in it

  • Oxygen, temperature and salinity by pen and tank, live
  • Edge gateways at each site that keep readings when the link drops
  • Alarms on Telegram to the on-call person, acknowledged from the bot
  • Escalation to the next person when an alarm is not acknowledged
  • History and trends by pen, site and season
  • Gateways listed by quantity, sensors from your chosen supplier

// Stack

  • Next.js
  • PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB
  • MQTT
  • Telegram Bot API
  • Edge gateways

Hatchery records rebuilt

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A hatchery runs broodstock, egg, feed and mortality records in a set of Excel workbooks full of macros that one retired staff member wrote, and each new season risks breaking them.

// What we would build

A web system that replaces the workbooks with broodstock, spawning, incubation, feed, mortality and release records, reads water temperature from the existing monitoring system, moves every season's history across and checks it, and puts the figures the managers ask for on dashboards. Release criteria and health records follow the requirements your biologists and veterinarian set.

// What is in it

  • Broodstock, spawning, incubation, feed, mortality and release records
  • Water temperature read from your existing monitoring system
  • Every season's history moved from the workbooks and checked
  • Dashboards for survival, growth and feed by tank and by season
  • Reports in the formats your funders and managers ask for

// Stack

  • Next.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Metabase or a custom dashboard
  • Monitoring system API
  • DigitalOcean

// questions

Questions we get about this.

Can you bring in years of hatchery spreadsheets?

Yes. We move every season's history across and check it against the original workbooks before you rely on it.

Which monitoring systems can the farm dashboard read?

Those with an API, a database or a file export. We check yours before we quote.

Do the dashboards tell us when to treat or harvest?

No. They show your data clearly. Treatment and harvest decisions stay with your managers and veterinarian.
