Digital technologies have helped many industries achieve exponential growth, and now it's time that shrimp farming gets some attention! Today, we're launching a smartphone app that uses artificial intelligence to process and analyze photos of shrimp, allowing farmers to accurately capture animal data and track growth shortly after stocking, all the way through harvest. The app simplifies the acquisition of crop data and gives producers easy access to transparent and reliable information to track shrimp growth, manage ponds and prepare for harvest.

Happy Seafood Month! Did you know that head-on, shell-on shrimp are prominent in many Asian and Latin American cuisines, contrary to what is often seen in North Americapeeled with the shell removed? For instance, in the Philippines, it's common to serve suppliers and visitors shrimp straight from the pond. They catch them, lay them on ice, and grill them for an actual "farm to table" experience.... Send us a picture of your favourite shrimp dish!

To offer a faster way to measure shrimp and record data, we developed a mobile app that can determine weight through a few pictures. The XpertSea tray, as seen in the photos, helps to ensure the application has the highest accuracyand we promise there is no weighing scale needed to get your results! Almost seems like magic, huh?
