TLDR:
- Alphabet X’s spinout, Tidal, brings computer vision and AI to salmon farms to promote sustainable fish farming.
- Tidal uses a combination of sensors, robotics, data science, and AI to monitor fish, offer yield estimates, and catch potential issues like sea lice.
Alphabet X’s latest spinout, Tidal, aims to revolutionize the salmon aquaculture industry by implementing computer vision and AI technologies. With ambitions to “feed humanity sustainably,” Tidal uses a Googley approach to enhance fish farming practices through the utilization of sensors, robotics, data science, and AI. The company’s system provides farmers with a comprehensive view of their harvests, offering yield estimates and detecting potential issues such as sea lice early on. Tidal has already deployed 230 systems in Norway and plans to expand further into the global market. With a focus on sustainability, Tidal empowers fish farmers to make more environmentally and economically conscious decisions, ultimately paving the way for a more sustainable future in aquaculture.
