AI for recirculating aquaculture systems
Land-based RAS runs on tighter margins and less room for error than open water, every liter is recirculated, every kilogram of feed is accounted for. AquaVyon adds vision-based biomass, counting and welfare monitoring on top of your existing RAS infrastructure, not instead of it.
Why RAS operators are adopting AI
Labor is the biggest recurring cost
RAS runs tighter margins than sea pens and depends on constant manual checks, grading, counting, water testing. AI monitoring cuts the labor hours spent on routine observation.
Welfare problems compound fast in a closed system
A water-quality or disease issue in a recirculating system escalates quickly with nowhere for waste to dilute, earlier detection matters more than in open water.
Margins reward precision
Feed and energy are the largest costs in RAS production, accurate biomass and behavior data directly tightens feed conversion and stocking decisions.
What AI actually does inside a RAS
Biomass estimation
Continuous, non-invasive biomass without netting. See the full methodology.
Learn more →Fish counting
Vision-based counts at stocking, grading and harvest, tuned for tank and raceway conditions.
Learn more →Water-quality & welfare monitoring
Behavior and environmental signals that flag stress or disease before it spreads through the system.
Learn more →Integrating with existing RAS infrastructure
Most RAS sites already run SCADA, PLCs and water-chemistry sensors. AquaVyon is built to sit alongside that stack, not force a rip-and-replace.
- Runs alongside existing SCADA and PLC-based control systems, AquaVyon adds vision-based data, it doesn't replace your controls layer
- Edge processing on-site means insights keep working even on the limited connectivity common at land-based sites
- Data exports via CSV/API so biomass and count data can feed your existing farm-management software

AI in RAS, FAQ
Does AI monitoring integrate with our existing RAS SCADA system?
AquaVyon runs alongside your existing SCADA/PLC controls rather than replacing them, it adds vision-based biomass, counting and welfare data that you can export via CSV/API into your existing farm-management software.
Does it work without reliable internet at a land-based site?
Yes. Processing happens on an on-site edge unit, so insights and alerts keep working on low bandwidth and sync to the cloud when a connection is available, a common constraint at land-based RAS sites.
Which RAS species does AquaVyon support?
Salmon, Trout, Sturgeon and Tilapia today across RAS, raceways and tanks, models are retrainable for other species on request.
How is this different from generic RAS sensors?
Standard RAS sensors measure water chemistry (DO, temperature, pH, ammonia). AquaVyon adds computer-vision measurement of the fish themselves, biomass, counts and behavior, which chemical sensors alone can't provide.
