Ace Aquatec launches award-winning A-BIOMASS® camera system to Japanese market for the first time
21 August 2024
After unveiling their A-BIOMASS® camera on the European stage last year, aquaculture technology specialists, Ace Aquatec, are launching their device to the Japanese market at this year’s Japan International Seafood and Technology Expo in Tokyo.
A-BIOMASS® is an advanced underwater camera designed to bring more efficiency and precision to biomass measurement and distributions of a range of fish species. The camera uses machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time millimetre accuracy, which could ultimately transform the way fish farmers monitor and grade their fish stock. Weighing in at only 8.5kg, the fully automated camera is smaller and easier to deploy than many on the market, with clients in Scotland, New Zealand and the USA praising its easy deployment and high degree of accuracy.
Having successfully rolled out in several regions, Ace Aquatec now have their sights set on the east Asian market with the company’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Tara McGregor-Woodhams, Head of Sales Ben Perry and Technical Sales and Partnerships Manager Tom Cryans attending the event between August 21stand August 23rd in order to share insights into the company’s products with delegates.
The trio will be at the Seafood from Scotland/United Kingdom pavilion, a joint sponsorship project funded by the Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the Department for Business & Trade (DBT), Seafish and Seafood Scotland.
The Ace Aquatec team will also be visiting various key Japanese aquaculture producers with partners from the British Embassy in Tokyo and Scottish Development International.
Tara McGregor-Woodhams said: “Our A-BIOMASS® cameras are helping farmers optimise feed and growth rates and transform the way they monitor their salmon stock. Over the course of our visit to Japan we hope to not only nurture our connections in this crucial region but also introduce the A-Biomass® device to a new market, in line with our ambitions of bringing Scottish technology to the aquaculture industry on a global scale”.
