Watershed's new reporting feature is live for Explorer tier farms. Build configurable timeseries reports from 75-plus data metrics including welfare scores, sea lice pressure, PCR results, lab data, pharmaceutical treatments, risk modeling across 20 diseases, and more. Reports are built through a four-step workflow, saved with flexible layouts, tracked against operation-specific goals, and exportable to PDFs.
Farm teams across Norway, Scotland, Australia, and the Mediterranean told us the same thing over the past year. The data needed for welfare documentation, production KPI reviews, and performance reporting exists. The problem is where it lives. Farm management systems, environmental sensors, feed platforms, and diagnostic tools each produce records in different formats with different update cycles. Getting those records into one place, in a consistent format, before any analysis can begin, is where too much time is going.
For most teams that means rebuilding spreadsheet exports each week. For teams with more technical resources it means Power BI dashboards connected to multiple APIs, with ongoing maintenance every time a source system changes. Either way, the preparation is draining resources before the analysis even begins.
Watershed's new reporting capabilities change where that work starts. Your fish health, treatment, environmental, and mortality records are already connected across sites and generations in our platform. When your team opens a report, whether that is a lice pressure trend before Friday's management review or a generation-level mortality comparison for a quarterly summary, their focus now goes straight into the analysis.
Most farm teams know exactly what they need to look at each week. Getting there has always required more steps than the analysis itself. Creating a new report in Watershed takes a few minutes from a blank screen to a flexible shareable analysis.
The creation workflow runs in four steps. Select a data source. Timeseries visualizes data over time and is the starting point for most weekly and generational reports. Choose your locations by farm, generation, and cage level. Select your metric categories and configure the visual type and goal conditions. Apply changes and the report loads live on the Visualize screen.
Location selection reflects your actual farm structure in Watershed. Farm, generation, and cage level each have their own dropdown that pulls directly from your connected records. The generation dropdown shows real generation history, not a manually maintained list. Multiple farms can be added to the same report for cross-site comparison without rebuilding separate reports for each site.
Every saved report appears on the reporting list page with a thumbnail preview, last-edited timestamp, and the name of the last editor. Sort by date or filter by author, and when your team needs last week's welfare summary before a call, it is all there ready to go.
A lice pressure graph tells part of the story. A welfare score reads differently when treatment history and mortality trend are visible in the same report. Aquaculture analysis rarely comes down to a single metric, and the data your team needs to build a complete picture has historically lived across too many systems to pull together quickly.
Metric categories in Watershed cover the full scope of what farm teams track: Environment, Feeding, Fish, Harvest, Mortalities, Parasites, PCR Samples, Risks, Sampling, and Treatments. Each category expands to show the metrics available beneath it. Select multiple categories in a single report and each appears in the selected tray below the grid before you proceed to finalize your visuals.
This release adds more than 40 new data metrics in the platform, bringing the total available as report inputs to 75+. Welfare scores and welfare indicators, sea lice pressure by female count and pressure, PCR CT-values, pharmaceutical treatment records, risk modeling across 20 diseases including Amoebic Gill Disease and Pancreas Disease, accumulated mortality percentage by stocked fish count, and feed conversion metrics are all selectable. New metrics are continually added on an ongoing basis.
Every farm operates against thresholds: Regulatory lice count limits, internal welfare score targets, leadership expectations on feed conversion and mortality rates, etc. Before this release, knowing how many times your farm exceeded a threshold during a reporting period meant counting manually across exports or building the calculation yourself in a spreadsheet. Watershed now does this automatically for every metric you track.
Now users can select the goal condition and enter the threshold value directly as they configure their reports. Goals the render as a dashed reference line on the chart.
Below each chart, users now see how many times the threshold was exceeded during the reporting period and where current performance sits relative to that threshold as a percentage. A fish health team reviewing sea lice pressure against a regulatory or internal limit sees the full trend, the count of measurement periods that crossed the line, and exactly how far above the threshold current performance sits.
The goal display updates when the time interval changes. Switch from daily to weekly and the exceeded count and progress bar recalculate automatically. Goals can be set on computed metrics including accumulated mortality rate and feed percentage, which was a direct request from farm teams tracking performance thresholds on derived values rather than raw counts.
A quality manager reviewing lice pressure and welfare compliance does not read data the same way a production manager tracking biomass and harvest numbers does. A feed manager running weekly SFR analysis needs a different view than an operations lead reviewing cross-site mortality trends. Generic dashboard templates put the metrics your team cares about in whatever order the software decides. Watershed puts that decision with your team.
Once a report is ready to visualize, anyone with access can simply arrange the layout to their needs. Widgets reorder by easily, just grab any corner and resize to adjust chart dimensions. Save the configuration and your team now can view new arrangement.
A completed multi-metric report shows each chart with its own time interval selector, goal line, exceeded count, and current goal progress bar in the layout the team configured. Fish weight trend against target, feed conversion rate, accumulated fish loss, treatment count, and oxygen levels across a full site generation in a single scrollable view. Teams managing reporting across multiple sites can share a link to a configured report rather than exporting and reformatting every time.
And as a nice little touch, every chart expands to full screen so you can easily dive in and review individual graphs in detail
if you're running through a review with your team members in person.
A configured report in Watershed fits into the recurring analysis your teams run week to week.
Saved views and permissions
Configurations persist between sessions. A team that builds a weekly welfare review on Monday opens the same layout and the same metrics the following Monday. View and edit permissions are set per report so finished reports reach the right people without requiring redistribution each time.
Weekly and monthly reporting cycles
Teams running recurring welfare reviews, production KPI reports, or generational summaries reopen the same configuration rather than rebuilding the data selection each time. The reporting list page stores every saved report accessible to the logged-in user.
Export PDF and CSV
Finished reports export to PDF for external stakeholder reviews or to CSV for further analysis. Export options are accessible from the Report Options menu on the Visualize screen.
Linked investigations
When a welfare score or mortality result needs context, Watershed connects back to the underlying farm record. A team that sees an unexpected lice pressure spike in a Friday report can move from the visual into the fish health history for that generation without leaving the platform.
Connected data sources
Each report draws from the production, welfare, treatment, laboratory, and environmental records already in the Watershed account. When source records update, the report reflects current data. The records behind every data point trace back to the original farm system entry.
Reporting is live in Watershed for Explorer tier farms. If your team manages welfare scoring, regulatory documentation, and cross-site performance reporting in spreadsheets, cross disconnected systems, or in external BI tools, this is the first step in bringing that work together into Watershed.
