Wellboat & transport operations
Fish welfare and trusted counts don't happen by accident on a wellboat
Splitting, grading, lice treatment and every transfer put pressure on both the fish and the numbers you report, across every boat you run.
Every transfer is a welfare risk
Splitting, grading, lice treatment and loading all stress fish, and a wellboat's pumped, high-capacity systems don't leave room to slow down and handle every fish by hand.
A count nobody can verify is a dispute waiting to happen
Without an image-verified record, a delivery or handover number is just one side's word against the other's.
Every boat runs its own numbers
Without a connected system, counts and reports stay on whichever boat produced them, not somewhere your whole operation can see.
Built for the way wellboats work
One system for welfare, trust and visibility across your fleet
VAKI's Channel and Smolt Counters use controlled dewatering and gentle handling to protect fish through splitting, grading, lice treatment and loading, at wellboat capacity.
Every fish is imaged as it's counted, accurate to over 98%, so a delivery or handover number can be checked after the fact, not just taken on faith.
Every counter connects to VAKI Cloud and SmartFlow, so counts and reports back up automatically and stay visible across your whole operation, wherever a boat docks.
