What InnovaSea does

Innovasea (legally Innovasea) is a privately held precision aquaculture and fish tracking technology company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with operational roots dating to 1994 and a global footprint spanning eight offices across the United States, Canada, Chile, Norway, Greece, and Australia. The company operates two principal divisions: Aquaculture Systems, which provides submersible net pens (SeaProtean Pens, SeaStation), wireless environmental sensors (aquaMeasure), AI-powered biomass cameras (BiomassPro), automated waterborne feeding systems (FlowFeeder), gas management towers, and water treatment equipment for commercial fish farmers and land-based RAS operators; and Fish Tracking, which delivers acoustic telemetry products including the NexTrak system, acoustic receivers and tags, hydrophones, the HydroAI species identification platform, and Fathom Software for fisheries researchers and hydropower operators. The product architecture integrates hardware with cloud-based software platforms (RealFish Pro, Farm360) to enable real-time environmental monitoring, biomass estimation, feeding optimization, and farm management.

The company serves enterprise customers across the global salmon, sea bass, seabream, and emerging aquaculture industries, with named relationships including Mowi (world's largest salmon farmer), Topian/NEOM, Thor Salmon, Santomar, Mt Cook Alpine Salmon, and multiple RAS and aquaponics operators. Its revenue model combines hardware sales (pens, sensors, cameras, feeding systems), recurring software subscriptions (RealFish Pro, Farm360, Fathom), and professional services (design consulting, technical support), all sold through a direct enterprise field sales motion with regional managing directors and quote-based multi-year contracts. Innovasea is part of the iAlumbra ecosystem and Cuna del Mar portfolio of open ocean aquaculture companies, which provides strategic alignment with sustainability-focused ocean farming initiatives. The company underwent a significant leadership transition in 2025 with Mark Jollymore's appointment as permanent CEO, followed by a March 2026 brand refresh and formalized executive structure with separate general managers for the Aquaculture Systems and Fish Tracking divisions.
