Improving Filet Quality and Color
Overview:
When combing the supermarket aisles for the best seafood options, many consumers will make their selection based on salmon filet color. Since salmon is known for its distinctive pink hue, dark pink filets typically sell best.
While there are no optimum color standards in the US, fish farms strive to produce filets that appeal the most to the public. The more pink salmon an aquaculture farm can produce, the more money it can make.
Challenge:
Fish farms can leverage processing machinery to evaluate every filet and calculate the most economical cut configuration based on color, size, and shape. However, raw material defects, breeding, and the fish’s diet can drastically alter the color of the filet. Monitoring these variables is time-consuming and expensive.
Aquaculture farms need more efficient breeding, feeding, and raw material monitoring procedures to ensure the best filet color outcomes while saving time and resources.
Solution:
Aquaculture farms can use Sightline EDM to automate their processes to ensure optimal filet color.
Sightline EDM’s innovative platform leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to streamline data collection, accurately capturing all data points, including food consumption, water quality, drops in oxygen levels, algae bloom conditions, and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, fish farms will receive real-time alerts to mitigate potential problems before they can happen.
Sightline EDM helps aquaculture farms enhance the color and quality of filets by:
- Monitoring water quality to ensure optimal reproduction and growth
- Capturing feeding data to prevent overconsumption and reduce waste
- Using machine learning and AI to provide crucial information faster than manual processes
- Combining historical data patterns with current situations to accurately forecast tank quality conditions, reducing the spread of disease
- Providing root cause analysis that allows fish farms to pinpoint the precise cause of the problem
These valuable insights allow aquaculture farms to maximize environmental conditions and feeding processes to ensure optimal health and reproduction for consistently high-quality filets.
Results:
With Sightline EDM, fish farms can obtain sustainable aquaculture success by delivering filets of the highest color and quality standards.
Sightline’s monitoring tools can instantly improve environmental conditions by revealing valuable data in minutes. The intuitive platform is simple to use so that every employee can do their part to improve water conditions, prevent disease, and ensure the best filet color and quality possible.
