Innovasea, a global leader in technologically advanced aquatic solutions for aquaculture and fish tracking, announced a renewed global framework agreement with Mowi, the world’s largest salmon farmer.

The agreement builds upon a history of strong collaboration and officially makes Innovasea the preferred vendor for environmental monitoring equipment and software for all Mowi sites. Mowi has already implemented Innovasea's environmental monitoring systems at multiple locations and will continue to add new sites as part of their ongoing Mowi 4.0 Smart Farming initiative.

“We are thrilled to build upon our successful partnership with Mowi as they continue to lead the industry in effective, data-driven techniques,” said Tim Stone, Innovasea VP. “As leaders in precision aquaculture, we are excited to help them leverage the information they’re collecting to deliver more efficient, sustainable practices.”

Innovasea's technology delivers real-time information on environmental factors, such as dissolved oxygen levels, salinity, and temperature, to a central cloud-based platform: Innovasea's Realfish Pro. Within Realfish Pro's Environmental Monitoring Dashboard, operators can quickly track water quality across multiple sites and receive instant alerts if conditions degrade. Managers can use this data to optimize feeding and protect their fish even when they are not on site.

“In today’s landscape, you must constantly innovate to counter environmental and operational challenges,” explained Arnt Mjøen, Mowi’s Group IT Manager of Feed and Farming. Innovasea has made it effortless to receive, analyze, and act on our data, whether on the Realfish Pro Platform or contextualized within our MowInsight analytical platform for improved daily operations and fish growth.”

As new environmental sensors and systems are added, Mowi will gain greater insights into its many farm environments, giving them an opportunity to make even more targeted decisions for each pen.

“Since working with Innovasea, we’ve learned a great deal about our site and pen conditions. Continuous information about the living environment of our fish is important to ensure we maintain good control of fish welfare. It also enables us to make swift and informed actions while giving us valuable information to improve our sites and operation over time,” added Henrik Trengereid, Mowi Group manager for seawater production technology.

With offices in the U.S., Canada, Norway, Chile, and Greece, Innovasea’s global team of experts will be available to support and assist each Mowi location's unique needs.
