AKVA observe AI Feeding Assistant

AKVA group is a supplier of solutions and services to aquaculture, headquartered in Klepp, Norway, with offices in 11 countries according to its website. It addresses overfeeding and underfeeding in fish farms, which waste feed and limit growth.

AKVA observe is AI software, developed after the company acquired Observe Technologies in 2024. It analyses live video streams from cameras already installed at the farm to detect fish behaviour and pellet consumption, then issues real-time alerts and feeding recommendations. It sits alongside AKVA feeding systems for sea-based and land-based farms and links to the AKVA connect platform.

• Video analysis: reads fish behaviour and pellet consumption from live camera streams.
• Existing camera integration: works with current camera infrastructure without new equipment.
• Smart alerts: AI notifications to prevent over- and underfeeding.
• Remote management: monitor and manage feeding from any location.
• Data insights: real-time analytics and AI-powered recommendations.

Large cage or RAS fish farms in Vietnam, such as pangasius or marine fish operations, can add the software to existing cameras to tune feeding. Feed suppliers can use the data to support customers on feed conversion.

Uses existing cameras, so no extra hardware is needed. Real-time alerts help prevent over- and underfeeding. Remote management lets operators run feeding from any location. The vendor states it aims to reduce waste and improve feed conversion ratio; no numeric figures are published on the page.

Feed is the largest cost in fish and shrimp farming, so camera-based AI feeding control is spreading in aquaculture. Vietnam and Southeast Asia are expanding intensive and land-based farming, which creates demand for feeding automation.
