This AI camera uses “fishal” recognition 🐟 #trendingshorts #fishing #aquaculture #ai #technology

Tidal is an AI-powered aquaculture technology, born in Google's “moonshot” division called X. Founded after engineers conducted hands-on testing in Norwegian fjords using a custom-built "fish run" racetrack, Tidal developed underwater camera systems that track individual fish among populations of 200,000. The technology accurately estimates biomass, detects diseases, and autonomously optimizes feeding. Engineers faced initial resistance from experienced farmers, prompting them to develop a customizable system that builds trust over time. Recently spun off with venture capital backing from both U.S. and Norwegian investors, Tidal is now expanding its underwater perception technology to monitor seagrass carbon sequestration and offshore wind infrastructure.
