The Role of Underwater Monitoring Tools in Fisheries Science
Sustainable fisheries management depends on accurate underwater data. Advanced underwater monitoring tools, such as those developed by CatchCam Technologies (former SafetyNet Technologies), can provide underwater video-evidence and environmental data to improve sustainability efforts.
The CGTN Europe and Razor Science documentary below called ‘Can Precision Fishing Preserve Biodiversity in Our Oceans?’ highlights the challenges and innovations in fisheries monitoring, showcasing how innovative technology by CatchCam Technologies can drive better fishery management and compliance.
How Underwater Monitoring Tools Improve Fishery Data Collection
Advanced underwater monitoring systems provide unbiased and accurate data that enhances fisheries management. These tools:
Improve scientific research by offering insights into fish behaviour, gear interactions, and environmental conditions.
Help reduce bycatch rates through visual data collection. That way, scientists and fishermen can make evidence-based decisions to adjust gear and modify escape panels as needed.
Provide environmental data to help researchers understand fish population trends, habitat changes, and how climate change impacts fisheries.
Are easy to integrate into any existing setup, making them a practical and versatile tool for fishermen and scientists.
As seen in the documentary, underwater monitoring and precision fishing technology can help commercial fisheries operate more sustainably. But how?
SeaSensor: Underwater Sensor for Accurate Data Collection
SeaSensor is a robust, high-performance underwater sensor designed for accurate monitoring in the harshest marine environments. Built for commercial and research applications, it collects key metrics like temperature, depth, turbidity, light intensity, immersion, and motion.
By easily integrating SeaSensor with fishing gear, you gain continuous underwater weather reports that can be used to analyse how environmental factors influence fish behaviour, assess bycatch risks, stock assessments and habitat monitoring.
CatchCam: Underwater Video Camera System
CatchCam is a fit-for-purpose and robust underwater camera system for commercial and scientific vessels.
Designed to provide coloured visual evidence of underwater environments, CatchCam is ideal for collecting valuable data on species behaviour, gear interactions, and environmental conditions.
