Norwegian Company Raises ₹120 Crore to Build Robots for Fish Farms

A company from Norway called Remora Robotics has raised ₹120 crore (around €13.7 million) to grow its business. This money will help them make more of their underwater robots that clean nets and check fish cages in big salmon farms.

These robots can work without boats or manual labour — and that’s a big saving for fish farmers.

What the Robot Does:
Cleans cage nets gently (no pressure washing)
Uses AI to check for damage and fish health
Collects water data from around the cages
Helps keep fish calm and healthy
Reduces risk of disease and improves survival rate

The result? Better fish, lower labour, and higher production.
Company Info:
Started in 2016, based in Stavanger, Norway
Works with big salmon farmers
Supported by research groups like SINTEF, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and Aquastructure Solutions Inc.
Already tested in the field and used in real farms

What’s Coming Next:
Their production is almost sold out for the next 6 months
At Aqua Nor expo (August), they will launch new software for live cage monitoring
The new system will include AI-based net inspection and real-time data tools for farmers

CEO Svein Erik Gregersen said:
“We’re proud of what the team built. Now we’ll grow faster and give even more value to fish farmers.”
This kind of tech is now common in Norway’s salmon farming.

Can we adapt something similar for India’s cage farms or shrimp hatcheries?
We’ll keep an eye on it.
