SelectAI improves fish-health monitoring, reduces costs, and ensures sustainable aquaculture by precise lice detection and disease monitoring
As a world leader in salmon farming, the Norwegian aquaculture industry faces significant challenges that require innovative solutions
Sea lice cost the industry billions every year. A single adult female louse can produce up to 50 offspring per day under optimal conditions — once a population blooms, treatment costs escalate and the risk of spread to neighbouring sites multiplies. Traditional manual counts give an incomplete picture of what's actually happening in the cage.
Authorities impose increasingly strict requirements for documentation and traceability. Manual counting is time-consuming, inaccurate and difficult to verify.
To protect fish welfare and reduce environmental impact, farmers need precise, data-driven monitoring to avoid unnecessary treatments and make better operational decisions.
A snapshot of the industry this week, sourced directly from BarentsWatch — the Norwegian government's open fish-health data service.

With SelectAI, fish are gently guided through a specially designed net system that makes them voluntarily swim into the analysis channel. By lowering part of the net and feeding, the fish naturally enter, and when the net is lifted, the only way back to the cage is through the channel. This process enables stress-free monitoring without manual handling or anesthesia, ensuring reliable data collection while safeguarding fish welfare.
High-resolution cameras capture the entire fish from three synchronized angles, ensuring complete coverage. Imaging that surpasses human observation and motion sensors trigger automatic image capture.
Movable between cages and localities, operates without power or internet, built for tough maritime conditions, and has minimal impact on fish behavior. Also available as a permanent installation in each cage with a guide net and local power and internet.
Automatic position and timestamp with full traceability for regulatory control. Cloud-based storage and analysis keep all data secure and accessible.
Extreme detail identifies the smallest lice with standardised lighting for consistent quality. The cameras register up to 60% more colour shades than the human eye — picking up signals an inspector would miss.
Every new feature — disease detection, biomass control, respiration monitoring, other species — arrives as a software update to the existing unit. No new equipment to buy, no extra installation, no second visit from a technician.
SelectAI uses advanced algorithms that become smarter for each fish analyzed. The system learns to recognize patterns and continuously improves precision.
