7 VAKI Biomass Daily is the best available system today and I have great confidence in further development of this method. Leiv Tvenning, Group Technical Manager of feed and fish performance, Marine Harvest in Norway.

8 Size Estimation Biomass Daily System is the latest technology in size estimation. With a scanning frame placed permanently in each cage, fish are continually measured with pinpoint accuracy. For every site and every cage, the daily overview of average weight, size distribution, condition-factor and growth is available on Biomass Daily provides you with: Overview of all cages. Larger samples, giving more accuracy. Chart indicating daily average weight, condition-factor and number of fish. Periodic FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio) can be calculated accurately. Accurate reports for inventory management and harvest planning. Trend line showing the SGR (Specific Growth Rate). VAKI Aquaculture Systems Ltd 8

9 Macro works very well in combination with fish pumps and graders reducing labor requirements and greatly improving our fish inventory control. It is also virtually maintenance free and, year after year, it provides us with consistent, trouble free operation. Highly recommended! Janusz Wicikowski, Boot Lagoon Hatchery Manager, Mainstream Canada.

10 Counting from hatching to harvesting VAKI has an extensive range of counters that bring together the best technology and the demands from our customers. The VAKI counters are revolutionary, based on a scanning camera and computer vision. The fish flow gently in water through the scanning area where the outlines are recorded. Custom software is used to analyse and count each image. Even at maximum capacity the counters are extremely accurate over 99%. The main advantage of VAKI counters is accuracy, speed, verification and the fish in water at all times. VAKI Aquaculture Systems Ltd 10

11 The use of the counters has allowed us to maximise growth and minimise unnecessary stress by transferring the exact number of fish for harvest and leaving the remaining fish to feed and grow. Adam Norris, Bath Manager, Huon Aquaculture Group Pty Ltd.

12 Wellboat Counters Smolt counter 210cm wide counting channel for increased capacity. The counter is controlled from the computer in the bridge of the wellboat. Channel counter Designed specifically to count high numbers of large fish (from 500g 12kg) quickly and accurately. Trusted technology Verification of data Accuracy High capacity VAKI Aquaculture Systems Ltd 12

15 The fish-counting has improved, from harmfull trapps to a hardly even noticed by the fish system, giving the results in short time and interesting pictures - thanks to VAKI! Angelika Friese, Hofhuis, IWSV Germany.

16 Riverwatcher for reliable river stock management With over 20 years of development and research the Riverwatcher has a proven track record of reliability and accuracy. The Riverwatcher is in operation to monitor fish migration patterns in over 350 rivers world- wide, in a wide variety of fish ladders, weirs and passes many in exposed conditions. The Riverwatcher software is used to analyse and present the data from the fish counter. It is possible to examine the migration pattern of fish over a partic- ular period, by size groupings or for a particular time of the day. You can also examine temperature records for a particular period, and analyse silhouette images of each fish to verify the counting. VAKI Aquaculture Systems Ltd 16
