For decades, fish health and welfare have been assessed mainly through performance metrics and the presence or absence of pathogens. While useful, these reactive measures only capture what has already happened.

Blood analysis changes that.

Blood provides a direct, real-time window into a fish’s physiology, revealing subtle shifts long before they surface as performance issues. Although widely used in other livestock sectors and human health, this powerful early-warning tool has been underutilized in aquaculture.

WellFish Tech is changing that. Now operating in Scotland, Norway, and since late 2023, North America and beyond, our non-lethal blood monitoring technology equips farmers to predict emerging challenges, prevent avoidable losses, and perform with greater consistency and efficiency. Simply put: healthier fish are higher-performing fish.

This presentation will introduce WellFish Tech, demonstrate how proactive blood insights are being applied on farms today, and share real-world case studies showing the impact of early action. It’s time to move from reacting to predicting, and to empower farmers with smarter tools for fish health.
