Submerged AS was established in 2018 by the founders Lars Martin Sandvik Aas and later Håvard Lein Braa to develop a system solution for automatic counting of salmon lice and measurement of biomass. The founders have broad and high formal and practical competence with a trade certificate and a bachelor’s degree in electronics, a master’s degree in cybernetics and physics, and a doctorate in applied optics (physics).
