High-Throughput AI Fish Counting for 5–25 cm Fish
The Fordy Fish Counting Machine L1 is designed for professional aquaculture operations that require fast and accurate counting of juvenile and adult fish from 5 to 25 cm.
Traditional manual fish counting is labor-intensive, time-consuming and prone to counting errors, especially when handling thousands or hundreds of thousands of fish. The L1 uses AI vision recognition and automatic counting technology to significantly improve counting efficiency while reducing manual labor.
With a throughput of up to 300,000 fish per hour for approximately 5 cm fish and 100,000 fish per hour for approximately 10 cm fish, the L1 is suitable for high-volume fish hatcheries and stock enhancement programs.
Non-Contact AI Vision Counting
Unlike manual counting methods that require repeatedly catching and handling fish, the L1 uses non-contact visual scanning to recognize and count fish as they move through the counting channel.
The AI vision system identifies fish individually and automatically records the counting results, helping achieve a counting accuracy of ≥99% under suitable operating conditions.
Key advantages:
- AI-based fish recognition
- Non-contact counting
- Automatic counting and data display
- Reduced manual labor
- High counting efficiency
- Suitable for large quantities of fish
Continuous Water Flow Protection
The L1 is designed around a continuous water-flow counting process.
Fish remain in water throughout the transfer and counting process, helping reduce unnecessary handling and stress. The smooth water-flow channel guides fish through the scanning area while the camera performs non-contact recognition.
This design is particularly valuable when handling delicate juvenile fish and fish intended for stock enhancement and release programs.
Water-flow-based handling helps provide:
- Continuous water protection
- Reduced physical handling
- Lower risk of fish injury
- Smoother fish transportation
- Better protection for juvenile fish
Up to 300,000 Fish per Hour
High throughput is one of the key advantages of the L1.
Depending on fish size and operating conditions, the machine can achieve:
Up to 300,000 pcs/h for 5 cm fish
Up to 100,000 pcs/h for 10 cm fish
This makes the L1 suitable for operations where thousands or hundreds of thousands of fish need to be counted within a limited time.
Compared with manual counting, automated counting can greatly reduce labor requirements and improve the efficiency of fish handling, grading, transportation and release operations.
≥99% Counting Accuracy
Accurate fish numbers are essential for aquaculture production, inventory management and stock enhancement projects.
The L1 combines AI vision recognition, controlled water flow and automated counting to achieve a counting accuracy of ≥99% under appropriate operating conditions.
The system can help operators quickly determine the number of fish being transferred without relying on repeated manual counting.
Designed for Fish Hatcheries & Stock Enhancement
The L1 is especially suitable for professional fish hatcheries, breeding facilities and government or commercial stock enhancement projects.
Typical Applications
Fish Hatcheries
Quickly count juvenile fish before transfer, grading, transportation or sale.
Stock Enhancement & Fish Release
Accurately determine the number of fish released into rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other natural waters.
Aquaculture Fish Counting
Automate routine fish inventory and batch counting operations.
Fish Transportation
Count fish during loading and transfer to help operators record the quantity of each batch.
Fish Grading & Production Management
Combine fish counting with sorting, grading and other hatchery management processes.
Compact Mobile Design
Although the L1 is designed for high-volume counting, the machine has a relatively compact structure with dimensions of only 2200 × 640 × 1160 mm and a weight of ≤100 kg.
The wheeled structure makes it easier to move the machine between different working areas within a hatchery or aquaculture facility.
