Scottish marine solutions company Gael Force Group are no doubt a familiar name
to many of our readers at International Aquafeed. They are widely known for
their innovative SeaQure range, as well as their extensive line up of pen,
barge and camera solutions, but they also offer a variety of feed solutions to
help users optimise the use of their feed in their aquaculture systems.
The SeaFeed product range was created via direct cooperation with fish farmers
and professionals, listening to their needs and wants for the ultimate feeding
system for their aquatic species.
Gael Force Group discovered that one of the primary features that fish farmers
want from their feeding systems is the comfort that they are in complete
control, and the SeaFeed system provides this. Each innovation in the SeaFeed
range is completely customisable and places the operator in complete control of
their farm and feeding system.
SeaFeed Pellet Detection
One of Gael Force’s latest technological feed solutions is SeaFeed Pellet
Detection, a pellet detection software which connects with the on-site SeaFeed
System to analyse and optimise feed use in aquaculture.
The SeaSight 410 cameras equipped to the on-site systems relay back to the
computer software, enabling users to seamlessly visualise the feed they provide
their marine species, as well as how it disperses, how the fish respond to it
and how much of the feed is consumed. Through this solution, users can easily
discover if they are under-feeding or over-feeding their fish, providing an
excellent opportunity to optimise the efficiency of feed intake and potential
reduce feed costs, whilst ensuring your species remain healthy and happy.
Clarity and simplicity were clearly key features Gael Force Group focussed on
when establishing the SeaFeed Pellet Detection system. The SeaSight 410 camera
boasts 360-degree continuous pan and tilt, meaning zero blind spots when
detecting feed pellets.
The lense is also auto-cleaning, removing any build-up of fouling or cleaner
fish. The 410 also records in both colour and monochrome and when light levels
fall particularly low, infra-red recording takes place. The image is also
digitally enhanced, so each tiny speck of feed is perfectly visible through the
camera system, combatting the light-filtering effects of seawater.
