A-BIOMASS is an advanced underwater camera designed to bring more efficiency and precision to biomass measurement and distributions of a range of fish species. The camera uses machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time millimeter accuracy, which could ultimately transform the way fish farmers monitor and grade their fish stock. Weighing in at only 8.5 kg, the fully automated camera is smaller and easier to deploy than many on the market, with clients in Scotland, New Zealand, and the USA praising its easy deployment and high degree of accuracy.  

Having successfully rolled out in several regions, Ace Aquatec now has its sights set on the east Asian market, with the company’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Tara McGregor-Woodhams, Head of Sales Ben Perry, and Technical Sales and Partnerships Manager Tom Cryans, attending the event between August 21–23, in order to share insights into the company’s products with delegates. 

The trio will be at the Seafood from Scotland/United Kingdom pavilion, a joint sponsorship project funded by the Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the Department for Business & Trade (DBT), Seafish and Seafood Scotland. 

The Ace Aquatec team will also be visiting various key Japanese aquaculture producers with partners from the British Embassy in Tokyo and Scottish Development International. 

Tara McGregor-Woodhams said: “Our A-BIOMASS cameras are helping farmers optimize feed and growth rates and transform the way they monitor their salmon stock. Over the course of our visit to Japan, we hope to not only nurture our connections in this crucial region but also introduce the A-Biomass device to a new market, in line with our ambitions of bringing Scottish technology to the aquaculture industry on a global scale.”
