Shinkei Systems, based in California, has developed a robotic solution for fish processing on fishing boats. Utilizing computer vision, the robot identifies fish species and performs precise slaughter within six seconds, adhering to the Japanese 'ike jime' technique to maintain meat quality. This innovation addresses the issue of stress hormones affecting fish taste during capture.
The significance of this technology lies in its potential to improve the quality of seafood while providing fishermen with a stable supply of premium products. Shinkei offers its robots to Alaskan fishermen for free, purchasing their catch at above-market prices, and markets the fish under the 'Seremoni' brand. The company plans to introduce a new harvesting robot designed for small fishing vessels in the Cook Inlet by 2026.
Currently, over 40 Michelin-starred restaurants across the U.S. are using Shinkei's technology, with retail chains like Wegmans and FreshDirect also stocking their products. Shinkei recently secured $22 million in Series A funding to expand its operations, including a new processing center in Tacoma, aiming to make high-quality seafood more accessible while preventing overfishing.
