ColomboSky – Aqua-X

ColomboSky is a company supported by European Space Agency incubation programme.
ColomboSky developed AquaX, a satellite-based service for the monitoring of water quality everywhere in the World. AquaX allows to increase aquaculture production by improving farming sites performance and reducing losses due to biological and climatological threats. Thanks to precise satellite measurements and customized oceanographic models, AquaX can measure and forecast a wide range of ocean parameters and biological phenomena, such as temperature, salinity, currents, algal blooms and jellyfish blooms over large spatial scales and continuously in time. AquaX is a powerful tool that provide easy and actionable information for an effective management of environmental risks that can impair fish farms productivity.
Our team is composed by elements with experience in marine biology, oceanography, remote sensing and data analysis. ColomboSky team members have deep experience in international projects for Earth Observation and machine learning as well as aerial and drones inspections through image processing. In the last two years, our team has been focusing on the development of AquaX, the most complete water quality monitoring tool on the market.

AQUAX
Satellite technology for water quality monitoring and risk management in marine aquaculture
AquaX is the online platform tailored to the aquaculture industry, that brings next-generation satellite data in your hands. AquaX is a complete solution for water quality monitoring that helps protecting marine farms from environmental threats, improving farm productivity and profitability. Thanks to precise satellite measurements and area-specific oceanographic models, AquaX can measure and forecast a wide range of ocean parameters and biological phenomena, such as temperature, salinity, currents, algal blooms and jellyfish outbreaks over large spatial and temporal scales, and continuously in time. AquaX is a powerful tool that provides easy and actionable information for an effective management of the environmental risks that can impair fish farms productivity.
JellyX
Pollution, climate change and marine habitats degradation are affecting ocean-based industries worldwide. One of the effects of the global environmental change is the increase of jellyfish outbreaks. The sudden proliferation of these organisms can be detrimental to fish stocks, human health and marine ecosystems.
JellyX is an ocean-wide monitoring tool for the detection of jellyfish swarms and the prediction of their drift, based on ocean data. Fish farmers, whose activity is severely impacted by this phenomenon, can detect in advance jellyfish swarms thanks to JellyX, preventing important profit losses. With high estimation accuracy of jellyfish presence/absence, JellyX provides fish farmers with the solution for predicting and preventing the economic impacts of jellyfish outbreaks.
