World’s largest vertically integrated tilapia producer, Regal Springs®, and aquaManager confirmed their long-term strategic collaboration, in which both companies join forces to implement innovative, state-of-the-art technologies to achieve intelligent and efficient automation in Regal Springs’® sustainable fish farming operations. 

These wide-ranging initiatives, based on artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced algorithms, encompass data management and modeling, business intelligence, real-time data collection, and the latest smart devices and equipment, such as “state of the art” data-reading camera tracking systems, and have been successfully applied with more established species in marine environments. Regal Springs® will be the first company to introduce these advanced technologies into tilapia farming in inland deep-water lakes. 

Alois Hofbauer, CEO of Regal Springs®, added that “this collaboration aligns perfectly with Regal Springs’® strategy for environmental, social and economic sustainability (ESG), and is a building block in our passionate commitment to the all-important Blue Foods Movement. As we create a sustainable fish farming industry for the future, we need to adopt cutting-edge technology, so that we can farm fish more efficiently and sustainably, but at the same time continue to safeguard our waters, now and for the future. We are excited to collaborate with such an enterprising and innovative partner as aquaManager, and as Blue Food Movement pioneers, to create the fish farms of tomorrow.”

Kostas Seferis, founder of aquaManager, said, “we have been working with Regal Springs® for many years, and we enjoy a long-lasting partnership with them. We regard Regal Springs® as a visionary company, always keen to innovate in this industry that thrives on improving sustainability efforts. We look forward to many happy years working together, to turn into reality the dream of automated fish farming with a high degree of predictability.”
