RationCOUNTER
Reliable Fish Counts with fish welfare-first design
The RationCOUNTER features a design that delivers accurate fish counting, combined with reliable fish size reporting, while maintaining smooth handling and ensuring good fish welfare.
The Challenge
When the Real Fish Number is Uncertain, Decisions Get Weaker
Accurate counts are the foundation for feeding, density control, transfer planning, and biomass reporting in land-based aquaculture.
Transfers and grading create a situation where each individual fish can be observed. Dependable counting can be challenging in aquaculture where fish can be moving fast and in high density flows.
If operators cannot trust the number, feeding, density management, and reporting all get weaker and less valuable. Stable counting needs good imaging, controlled passage, and robust tracking without double counts or missed fish.
The Solution
Precise Tracking each fish avoids double counts
RationCOUNTER is designed for fish to pass through a controlled channel where each fish is analysed in real time. The system tracks individuals between frames rather than simple snapshots. This greatly improves robustness, especially when the flow is fast and at higher densities.
Biomass and size distribution
Session summaries include total count, throughput, and detailed size/distribution information that supports biomass planning, and consistent reliable reporting.
Built for real farm operations
The mechanical design, imaging zone, and operator workflow are built around smooth handling, verification, and dependable daily use in real fish farm conditions.
Fish Welfare by Design
Fish welfare is a core design consideration in RationCOUNTER, from passage geometry to operational stability.
Smooth, Continuous Handling
The counters are designed to support smooth flow with minimal obstruction, short handling time, and controlled geometry through the counting zone.
Consistent Conditions for Operators and Fish
Stable operation supports dependable counting while helping teams handle fish more consistently during transfers and grading.
Controlled Passage
Fish pass individually through a controlled channel, where each fish can be observed and analysed in real time with high precision and practical handling conditions.
How It Works
A simple integration into your existing facility.
Install the Counter
RationCOUNTER integrates into your existing pipe or raceway system. Custom mounting for your facility layout.
Fish Pass Through
As fish move through the counter, computer vision captures individual images. Each fish is counted and measured in real time.
Access Your Data
View real-time counts, weight distribution, and biomass estimates on the cloud dashboard. Export data for production planning.
Support
Service and support are built around uptime. We allow for straightforward and stable operation with continuous improvements and ongoing assistance.
Commissioning
Installation guidance and configuration to match your operating conditions.
Remote Support
Fast troubleshooting and assistance with clear logs, session data, and responsive follow-up.
Continuous Improvement
Ongoing software improvements focused on accuracy, stability, and operator experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
RationCOUNTER uses computer vision to track individual fish as they pass through a controlled channel. Each fish is captured across multiple frames, which prevents double counts and missed fish even at high flow speeds.
