"We selected Aquabyte after an extensive benchmarking process of the systems available on the market. Our decision to choose Aquabyte was based on the system's ability to excel in four key areas: welfare monitoring, biomass estimation, the company's follow-up on delivery and lice-counting precision," says Kjartan Lindbøl, Chief Operations Officer Sea at Kaldvík.
The strong cooperation and communication between the two companies was also an important factor in choosing the best partner and provider of data-collecting and decision support systems for their eight sites on the east coast of Iceland.
"For us, it was important to establish strong relationships between our entire organisation and the supplier we would be partnering with. In this area, Aquabyte stood out compared to the others involved in the benchmarking process," says Kjartan Lindbøl.
Kaldvík has already begun implementing Aquabyte systems at their sites, with the goal of having a system in every pen.
"We are thrilled to enter this partnership with Kaldvík. They are a forward-thinking company that recognises the importance of data and added value a data-driven approach brings to fish farming," says Kamilla Syindseth, Senior Sales Manager at Aquabyte.
In addition to providing systems for monitoring welfare, biomass and lice in Kaldvik's pens, the partnership also includes close collaboration on development of new products tailored to meet the needs of Icelandic fish farming.
"By sharing data and knowledge, our two companies will be uniquely positioned to further develop our data-driven monitoring and decision support systems, addressing the unique biological and geographical challenges of farming in Iceland," adds Kamilla Svindseth.
