Minnowtech develops aquaculture technologies to maximize aquafarmers’ cultivation efforts using integrated sensor-based systems.
Minnowtech is an aquaculture technology company, based in Baltimore, MD, that provides a software imaging platform to enable shrimp farmers to estimate shrimp abundance non-invasively with precision. Using Minnowtech’s data-based imaging tool, shrimp farmers optimize the health and growth of their hatcheries, enhancing the harvest of market-size shrimp while minimizing risks to juvenile shrimp. With the continued growth of aquaculture worldwide, Minnowtech addresses head-on the industry’s most acute challenge, which is overcoming limitations in how shrimp farmers assess the abundance, growth, and optimal harvest times of their crop. Minnowtech, via its low-cost technology and expert team of marine scientists, helps improve aquaculture farmers’ livelihoods while improving global food security and sustainability of marine environments.
