Aqura Systems secures £1m for aquaculture early detection technology

A £1m funding round has been secured by Aqura Systems Limited, a developer of autonomous early detection technology for aquaculture sites based in Aberdeen. The Scottish robotics firm is valued at £4.2m following the investment.

The startup operates within the food and beverage manufacturing industry. Its core product, mia, combines robotic water sampling with the proprietary AI imaging and satellite data to provide real-time biological insights. This platform is designed to help the global sector prevent fish mortality by identifying harmful algal blooms and jellyfish attacks before they cause damage.

Incorporated in November 2025, the company utilizes cutting edge solutions to allow operators to work with foresight and precision. The business currently maintains a total headcount of two employees and operates the official website aqurasystems.com. Formal documentation for this capital raise was filed in September 2026 (with an allotment date in the same month).
