Aquabyte is using computer vision and machine learning to optimise fish farming

"After having worked with machine learning as CTO of HistoWiz, a biotech company that used computer vision and machine learning to detect cancer cells in tissue samples, it soon became clear to us that one could use similar machine learning technology in other industries, including aquaculture. We looked at several industries, but growing up I had a family friend who was a professor of aquaculture at Cornell, and former business partners who had also invested in aquaculture. After making a trip to the AquaNor conference in Norway, I was able to connect with great Norwegians from the aquaculture industry, some of whom would later sign on full time. Having a network from Princeton and Silicon Valley, I was also able to quickly on-board people to help out with the engineering," says Bryton Shang, Founder and CEO of Aquabyte.
