Shinkei Systems addresses the significant problem of fish spoilage in the seafood industry. Currently, a substantial portion of the 1.2 billion pounds of fish caught daily never reaches consumers due to inefficient and inhumane harvesting methods. Common practices like suffocation on boats or electrocution on fish farms induce stress in the fish, leading to meat acidification, reduced quality, and dramatically shortened shelf life.
Traditional artisanal techniques used in high-end sushi preparation can significantly extend shelf life and enhance flavor. However, the inherent variability in fish makes it challenging to replicate these techniques mechanically at scale. Shinkei Systems offers a solution by automating these traditional methods using robotics. This innovative approach provides fish farmers and harvesters with the tools to produce longer-lasting and more delicious fish on a large scale, reducing waste and improving the overall quality of seafood.
