Case Study: Shrimpl improves shrimp farm profitability and sustainability with Planet

How Shrimpl Makes the Aquaculture Industry More Profitable and Sustainable with Planet Dat

The customer, Shrimpl, is a technology provider for the aquaculture industry. Its challenge was the lack of visibility into farm operations, which made it difficult for lenders to assess risk and for farmers to access capital. Shrimpl specifically needed a better way to monitor the critical metric of aquatic biomass and turned to vendor Planet for its high-cadence PlanetScope satellite imagery.

Planet’s data was integrated into Shrimpl’s management platform to build proprietary analytics, including a tool for estimating shrimp biomass using machine learning. This solution provided unprecedented monitoring capabilities that enabled comprehensive risk assessments. For its clients, Planet helped Shrimpl deliver results including a 70% increase in farm profitability and a 40% reduction in carbon emissions, creating a more sustainable and resilient aquaculture sector.
