CageEye Hydroacoustic Smart Feeding

CageEye is a Norwegian aquaculture technology company based in Oslo with roots in research and close cooperation with the fish farming industry. It addresses the difficulty of seeing how fish behave and eat inside sea pens, where poor visibility leads to feed waste and inconsistent feeding between shifts.

The company develops its own hydroacoustic sensors (echo sounders) and cage units that process signals directly on the pen, monitoring fish position and behaviour around the clock regardless of water visibility and covering the whole fish population. CageEye Discovery provides real-time and historical behaviour data, while CageEye Feeding adds a meal planner that starts meals automatically, a smart feeding engine that adjusts intensity from operator rules and real-time feedback, and meal evaluation reports. Customers shown on its site include Cermaq, Leroy, Arnoy and Invermar.

• Hydroacoustic sensing: in-house echo sounders track fish position and behaviour in the pen.
• Edge processing: cage units process acoustic signals directly on the pen.
• Discovery: real-time and historical fish behaviour data and equipment positioning.
• Meal planner: starts meals automatically according to a custom feeding plan.
• Smart feeding engine: semi-autonomous to fully autonomous control of feeding intensity.
• Meal evaluation: reports linking fish response to feeding actions.

• Offshore cage farms for cobia or pompano standardising feeding across remote sites.
• Seafood companies running feeding control centres that manage many pens from shore.
• Feed producers and research institutes testing feeding strategies on commercial cages.

• Makes feeding more consistent across shifts and seasons through automatic meal plans.
• Reduces feed waste by adjusting feeding intensity to real-time fish behaviour.
• Monitors fish 24/7 even in poor visibility, when cameras struggle.
• Helps teams test and compare feeding strategies with detailed meal reports.

Feed is the largest cost in cage farming, and producers are moving toward data-driven and autonomous feeding to cut waste and improve welfare. As Vietnam expands industrial marine cage farming in deeper, more turbid waters, acoustic monitoring that works without clear visibility becomes relevant.

CageEye AS (org. no. 911701251) is based at Storgata 11 in Oslo, Norway, with team members in several countries. It is led by CEO Ragnhild Dragoy, formerly of Aker QRILL Company, and Hatch-BRF is listed among its main shareholders. In July 2025 it hosted a feeding gathering in Oslo and presented CageEye Feeding at Aqua Nor 2025.
