Who we are

FP AQUA is at the forefront of transforming aquaculture with innovative technology that addresses critical challenges for industry and biodiversity.

Our initial focus is on the salmon aquaculture market, providing real-time monitoring solutions to combat parasites like sea lice, micro jellyfish, and other harmful zooplankton.

The Problem

Salmon lice significantly impact the salmon farming industry, causing increased mortality rates, compromising fish welfare, and demanding substantial financial investments.

Norway, the world's largest salmon farming industry, spends around 5 billion NOK annually on salmon lice control.

The magnitude of the problem is increasing and threatens wild fish populations and the marine environment.

Current methods involving medical treatments have in some cases lead to sea lice resistance.

How We Could Solve This

PlanktonSensor V4™

  • Detect threats earlier

  • V4 Using a 64MP camera adapted into a high-resolution underwater microscope in a waterproof housing

  • Measure at various depths

  • Types of species is expandable to monitor other harmful zooplankton like micro jellyfish

Data Platform (under development)

  • Monitor seasonal variations

  • Get access to site-to-site comparisons

  • Contribute to regional monitoring efforts

  • Reporting and documentation made easy

What this means for the stakeholders

Early detection of microscopic threats like sea lice, micro jellyfish, and other harmful plankton before they affect fish health.

Reduced dependency on chemical treatments and mitigation of resistance development through proactive monitoring.

Improved fish welfare and productivity, enabling healthier habitats and more sustainable operations.

Actionable environmental insights that strengthen decision-making for farmers, regulators, and environmental agencies.
