XpertSea launches AI-powered Growth Platform for aquaculture
Dec 31, 2019 — XpertSea, a Canadian aquaculture technology company, has announced the launch of the XpertSea Growth Platform. The XpertSea Growth Platform tracks growth from Day One in the hatchery through nursery, grow-out and harvesting.
