🌊 Can we produce more seafood while restoring the balance of our oceans? The world needs more sustainable protein, but our oceans are already under significant pressure, with the majority of wild fish stocks overfished. With very limited potential to increase wild fish catches, aquaculture has a crucial role to play in feeding a growing population. Aquaculture has clear advantages when it comes to resource efficiency and emissions, but the industry also faces challenges related to fish welfare and ocean health. The real opportunity lies not simply in producing more seafood, but in producing it better. By building on the knowledge, innovation and technologies developed within the aquaculture industry, we can reduce its environmental footprint, improve fish welfare and support healthier oceans. One example from our portfolio at Bluefront Equity is SEAQLOUD AS, which provides sensors and software to monitor environmental conditions in the ocean. By turning environmental data into actionable insights, Seaqloud helps fish farmers make better decisions for fish welfare, while contributing to a deeper understanding of marine ecosystems, biodiversity and how ocean conditions are changing due to climate change. This is a great example of how technology developed for aquaculture can create value beyond the industry itself, helping us better understand and protect the oceans we depend on. 🌍

At Bluefront Equity, we envision a future where the world's seafood supply is sustainable, accessible and responsibly managed and one of the most important shifts we see across the industry is the growing role of artificial intelligence. Across our portfolio, AI is already creating real value. Horizon Software enables biological and financial optimisation, Piscada Aqua uses computer vision and predictive models to optimise feeding, and SEAQLOUD AS uses sensor data to give early warning of changes in water quality. For the companies we work with, this means better biology, lower costs and stronger sustainability performance. Yet technology is rarely the main barrier. Like many traditional industries, aquaculture often sees implementation as a hurdle. Operations rely on decades of experience, margins are sensitive, and new systems require investment in data, skills and new routines. Many promising pilots never reach full scale. As an active owner, we see it as part of our role to help portfolio companies move from pilot to practice, ensuring technology fits existing operations and delivers measurable results. We believe the future leaders in blue food will combine deep industry knowledge with the right use of technology.
