Development licenses and iFarm successfully completed

Over four production cycles, more than NOK 500 million was invested in iFarm development. The project yielded several important technological breakthroughs, including:

• Advanced imaging systems for outstanding fish images
• Fish health journals powered by individual FishID
• A robust software infrastructure for data collection and analysis
• The “net roof” pen concept, giving access to the entire fish population
• Technology for extraction and handling of individual fish from the pen

Together, these achievements have laid the foundation for a new generation of aquaculture technology.

In close dialogue with Cermaq and other partners in the industry, we are now pivoting to a simplified, compact product built on the technology and knowledge developed in iFarm — and adding a new dimension: early lice intervention. At its core, our mission remains the same: to better understand fish on an individual level and take precise, targeted actions to improve their well-being.
