Biomass Estimation
Real Biomass Data, Better Harvest Calls
See live average weight, growth and size distribution across your operation, so harvest timing, feed plans and stock decisions run on current numbers, not a periodic sample.

The decision problem
Harvest and feed calls made on old numbers
A periodic sample only tells you what a pen looked like once, and by the time it's counted, the decision has often already been made.
Harvest windows come down to a guess
Without current biomass numbers, it's hard to judge the right day to harvest, or to weigh one harvest date against another.
Feed and stock plans run between samples
Feed rates and stocking decisions made between periodic samples reflect what a pen looked like once, not what's growing in it today.
Growth trends go unnoticed until it's too late
Without ongoing tracking, a shift in growth rate or condition across a pen often only shows up later, at harvest, or in the feed bill.
What biomass data changes
Decide with current numbers, not a sample
Current biomass data lets you compare harvest timing options and revenue scenarios instead of guessing when a pen is ready.
Feeding strategy and stocking decisions can track what's actually in the pen today, not a snapshot from the last sample.
Ongoing growth tracking surfaces changes across pens as they happen, not after they've already affected the harvest.
Common questions about biomass estimation
No. Counting tells you how many fish are in a pen; biomass estimation tracks their average weight, growth and size distribution, the numbers behind harvest timing and feed planning, not stock counts.
No. Counters and graders handle counting and sizing at handling events. Biomass estimation tracks the pen continuously between those events, so harvest and feed decisions aren't limited to whatever the last count or grading session showed.
