## What is FjordPulse?

FjordPulse turns the Norwegian government's BarentsWatch fish-health data into a
clean, mobile-friendly view of the country's entire salmon aquaculture industry
— every active farm, every reporting week, on one map.

WHAT YOU SEE

• A live map of all active Norwegian salmon farms along the coast, color coded
  by their current compliance status (healthy / watch / at risk).
• Per-farm detail: adult female sea lice as a percentage of the 0.5/fish
  regulatory limit, mobile and stationary lice categories, sea temperature,
  licensed capacity, environmental ("green") license status, land-based RAS
  facilities, and the official production area (PO1–PO13).
• NEW: live satellite imagery of each farm's real location, right on its
  profile — double-tap it to jump straight to the farm on the map.
• Twelve-week trend charts for lice and water temperature, with Norway's
  regulatory threshold drawn on the chart so you can see at a glance whether a
  farm is trending toward or away from non-compliance.
• Active treatment timeline: thermal delousing, freshwater bath, in-feed
  treatments, mechanical removal, cleaner-fish deployments.
• ILA and PD disease outbreak flags, PD surveillance/protection zone labels,
  and fish escape events.
• A national snapshot in the Insights tab: industry-wide lice averages,
  outbreak counts, water-condition ranges, and municipality hotspots.

NEW IN 1.1 — FAVORITES THAT FOLLOW YOU

• Tap the star on any farm to add it to your favorites, then filter the Farms
  list to just those. Favorite from the list, the farm profile, or the map.
• Save a search — your text plus the status filter and sort — and reapply it
  with a tap.
• Sign in with Apple or Google (optional) to sync your favorites and saved
  searches across every device. Signed out, they still work on this device and
  merge into your account the moment you sign in.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Aquaculture professionals, fish-health technicians and farm operators who
  want a quick mobile read on conditions across the industry.
• Investors and analysts tracking salmon producers (Mowi, SalMar, Lerøy,
  Bakkafrost and others) where lice and disease outbreaks move share prices.
• Environmental researchers, journalists, and wild-salmon advocates following
  the impact of farming on Norwegian fjords.
• Coastal residents, fjord-tourism operators and sport anglers curious about
  what is happening at farms in their region.
• Curious individuals.

PRIVACY

FjordPulse works fully without an account. Signing in with Apple or Google is
optional and only enables syncing your favorite farms and saved searches across
your devices; to do that we store your account email and a user identifier, and
nothing more. Farm data comes from BarentsWatch via a small proxy server we
operate, with Apple App Attest verifying that requests come from a genuine
install. No personal browsing or location history is collected.
[ADS] FjordPulse shows ads through Google AdMob, which collects device and usage
data to deliver them; you can limit personalized ads in iOS Settings.

LANGUAGES

The app ships in Norwegian (default — matches the source data) and English.
The English mode translates Norwegian place names via Google Translate and
caches each name on your device so the same name is fetched at most once.

DATA SOURCE

All farm data is from BarentsWatch, the Norwegian government's official marine
open-data service, refreshed weekly when farms file their reports. FjordPulse is
an independent app and is not affiliated with BarentsWatch, the Mattilsynet
(Norwegian Food Safety Authority) or any salmon producer.

INFORMATIONAL USE ONLY

The data in FjordPulse is provided for informational purposes only. It is not
financial, regulatory, or operational advice. Always consult the primary source
and qualified professionals before acting on aquaculture data.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-08

No more banner ads.

FjordPulse no longer shows banner ads anywhere — not on the map, not in the
farm list, not on a farm's page, and not pinned above the tab bar. The screen
is yours again.

Instead, the Farms and Insights tabs are each unlocked by watching one short
video, and only when you choose to. The map stays completely free. Each tab is
unlocked separately, and an unlock lasts as long as you keep using the app — it
only lapses after seven days without opening FjordPulse.

Also in this release:
• The bottom navigation bar now stays visible in Settings.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-04

A cleaner, more immersive way to browse Norway's salmon farms.

• More screen for your data: the tab bar now tucks itself away while you
  browse the Farms and Insights tabs. Tap the menu button (or switch tabs)
  to bring it back — it slides away again on its own.
• Faster search on Farms: a dedicated round button opens the search bar and
  the sort/filter controls right below the title, and puts them away when
  you're done.
• Returning from a farm's detail page now always lands you back on a tidy,
  distraction-free list.
• Settings and Insights got matching compact headers, and content at the
  bottom of every tab is no longer covered — the last row always scrolls
  fully into view.
• Polished launch screen: the ocean waves now render edge to edge.
• Assorted layout fixes and smoother animations throughout.

Data still refreshes weekly from BarentsWatch — every active Norwegian
salmon farm, lice counts, disease flags and sea temperature in one app.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-24

Version 1.1

Favorites and searches that follow you
• Sign in with Apple or Google (optional) to save your favorite farms and your
  saved searches and sync them across all your devices.
• Tap the star on any farm — from the list, the profile, or the map — to
  favorite it, and use the Favorites filter to see just those.
• Save a search (your text, status filter and sort) and reapply it any time.
• Not signed in? Favorites and searches still work on this device and merge into
  your account the moment you sign in.

See the real site
• Every farm profile now shows live satellite imagery of its actual location.
• Double-tap that view to jump straight to the farm on the map.

Reliability
• Pull to refresh on the Farms list, plus automatic retry so a brief network
  hiccup no longer leaves the list empty.

[ADS] • Introduced unobtrusive ads to help support ongoing development and the
  data server. (Include this line only if this build ships with ads.)

### 1.0 — 2026-06-02
