YAMIM
AI-driven aquaculture platform that turns local aquatic microorganisms into high‑protein live feed on-site, cutting feed costs and emissions by over 50% while improving water quality and fish health
About Us
YAMIM is a climate-tech aquaculture startup that uses on-site computer vision and cloud AI to produce and optimize natural live feed from local aquatic microorganisms, replacing a significant share of imported, industrial feed. By closing nutrient loops on the farm, we reduce feed shipping and embedded emissions by an estimated 50–60%, improve circular use of water and biomass, and strengthen local farm economies.
Our precision feeding and live-feed production lower nitrite and waste loads, creating cleaner aquatic environment and more resilient ecosystems, while improving feed conversion ratios and fish health. YAMIM directly advances SDGs around sustainable food systems, responsible production, and life below water, and targets a massive opportunity to disrupt how protein is grown in over 500,000 aquafarms worldwide and a $120B global market.
Relevant Challenges
Energy Efficiency
Optimized feeding reduces wasted feed energy and lowers overall farm operational energy per unit of production.
Transportation Modality
Technologies and infrastructure that facilitate shifts to low carbon transportation modes and influence individual travel behavior.
Waste Management
YAMIM closes nutrient loops on-farm by converting aquatic biomass and minimizing effluent and organic waste, advancing circular economy principles in aquaculture.
Process Innovation
Local Aquafeed production, dramitically lowering circular economy loops.
Resource Recovery
Transforming underutilized on-site aquatic biomass into valuable feed resources, recovering nutrients and proteins that would otherwise be wasted or discharge into the environment.
Traceability
Our cloud platform provides real-time data on feed sourcing, production, and utilization, enabling farms to track and verify sustainability metrics.
Supply Chain Optimization
YAMIM shortens aquaculture supply chains by enabling local feed production, reducing reliance on global commodity logistics and improving farm resilience and traceability.
Reduce Inputs
YAMIM’s precision feeding and on-site biomass production cut feed costs and external input dependency by 50-60%, lowering the resource and carbon footprint per kilogram of fish produced.
Reduce Emissions
Localizing feed production and optimizing feeding protocols, YAMIM reduces embedded emissions from feed transport, manufacturing, and over-feeding waste.
Crop Resilience
We strengthens aquaculture resilience by decoupling farms from volatile global feed markets and enabling local, self-sufficient biomass production.
Livestock and Aquaculture
YAMIM uses AI-driven on-site production of natural aquatic microorganisms to replace imported industrial feed, reducing emissions, shipping, and resource inputs while improving fish health and farm circularity.
Food Spoilage
YAMIM reduces feed waste through precision feeding optimization, lowering spoilage and inefficiency in the feed-to-fish conversion process.
Ocean Conservation
By reducing pollution and nutrient discharge from aquaculture, YAMIM contributes to healthier aquatic ecosystems and reduced eutrophication risk.
Low Carbon and Sustainable Blue Economy
YAMIM’s cloud platform provides real-time data on feed efficiency, waste, and resource use, enabling farms to measure, report, and verify their carbon and sustainability performance.
Evaluation, Management and Reporting
YAMIM’s cloud platform provides real-time data on feed efficiency, waste, and resource use, enabling farms to measure, report, and verify their carbon and sustainability performance.
Climate Resilience and Risk Management
Edge AI and cloud architecture are optimized for low-latency, low-power inference on resource-constrained farm environments.
