Sincere Aqua’s SC-4K Shrimp Counter is a device that uses advanced sensor technology, artificial intelligence, and computer vision to accurately count shrimp during the transfer from nursery to the grow-out stage. This technology helps farmers know exactly how many shrimp they have, making their work easier and more efficient. By providing precise shrimp counts, the device allows for better shrimp farming practices with less waste and a focus on growing healthy shrimp.
One company that has benefited from this technology is HanseGarnelen, a company operating a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) facility. The company faced a common challenge in shrimp farming – accurately determining stocking density. Miscounts can lead to overstocking or understocking, both of which can significantly impact a farm’s productivity. This resulted in the company spending a considerable amount of time manually estimating shrimp numbers, taking skilled workers away from more productive tasks.
The SC-4K Shrimp Counter from Sincere Aqua is capable of counting 200,000 shrimp per hour with a minimum accuracy of 95% for shrimp sizes ranging from 0.1 to 5 grams. Knowing the exact shrimp count per tank allows for proper spacing and feeding, enabling the shrimp to grow quickly and reducing the risk of diseases. Karl Bissa, operations manager at HanseGarnelen, shared how the device has improved their efficiency, stating that it previously took multiple workers several hours to transfer shrimp, but now only one person can do it in one hour with greater accuracy.
Fridi Mellemgaard, CEO of Sincere Aqua, highlighted that the SC-4K Shrimp Counter is aiding shrimp farms in progressing towards precision-led and sustainable aquaculture practices. The device is proving to make a noticeable difference for
