OctaPulse develops AI-powered inspection systems that automate the grading of juvenile fish in aquaculture hatcheries. Today, hatcheries rely on manual inspection of hundreds of thousands of fish per cohort—a labor-intensive process that takes up to 10 technicians over a week and is prone to human error. Our computer vision system detects deformities with over 90% accuracy, reducing labor costs and improving the consistency of fish selected for grow-out pens. This boosts survivability, reduces feed waste, and increases profitability.
