Predator detection for fish farms

A fish farm loses stock to predators, and by the time you see the damage the animal is long gone. Cameras and AI can catch it in the act, alert you in time, and build a record of where and when the pressure hits, so you respond with facts instead of guesswork.

The problem

You find the damage, never the predator

Otters, herons and cormorants, mink: a fish farm sits on a menu, and the predators come when nobody's watching. The loss is real, but the evidence walks away.

Catch it in the act

Predators work at night and move on. A camera that recognizes them turns "something is taking fish" into a time, a place, and an image.

Alerted, not glued to a screen

You can't watch the ponds all night. The platform flags predator events and sends an alert, so you act when it actually matters.

A record of the pressure

Which predator, where, and how often, across the season. That's what tells you where to add deterrents, netting, or another camera next.

How it works on the water

From a camera on the pond to an alert in time

Cameras around the water

Add footage yourself from an SD card or your computer, or let standard cameras around the ponds upload automatically. No proprietary hardware, and you keep your choice of camera.

AI that flags a predator, not a branch

The European-hosted AI recognizes the animal and flags predator activity; uncertain captures go to a review queue, so an alert means a predator, not wind in the reeds.

Alerts when it matters

Get an email when a predator shows up on the water you mark as priority. Respond that night, instead of counting losses the next morning.

Maps and patterns

See where predator activity concentrates and how it shifts through the season, so deterrents and cameras go where the pressure actually is.

Where this comes from

It started with an otter

Our first predator deployment was a trout farm with an otter problem. We built a camera setup that recognized the otter and raised an alarm, so the farmer knew the moment it was on the water. That is still the heart of this: a camera, recognition you can trust, and an alert in time.

It runs on the same platform we use for wildlife monitoring. The animal is just a predator on your ponds instead of a wolf in a corridor. Footage and detections are yours, hosted in Europe, and exportable at any time. See supported cameras for what works, and how the wildlife AI recognizes and reviews what the camera catches.

Protect your stock

Try the platform on your own ponds, or tell us what's taking your fish and we'll walk through a setup that fits.
