Understanding what is happening inside #trawl gear can be challenging but incredibly important. Experienced Norwegian shrimp fisherman, Arild Karlsen, implemented #CatchCam cameras along the sensor system of his fishing vessel Lindholmen. This system, developed by Notus, uses sound to inform the skipper on how much catch is entering their net. While it is mostly used for shellfish detection, skipper Arlid decided to trial it in the mixed #shrimp and whitefish #fishery. Watch below as both tools were paired together to improve the efficiency of his #fishing operations ⬇️ Keep reading and access more underwater footage here: https://hubs.ly/Q02HtpwW0 #Norway #FishingIndustry #NorthSea

There is a lot of pressure on the #FishingIndustry to reduce the impact of fishing gear on the seabed. Last month, we joined the The Fishing Daily . to launch the Warp Attachment for the #CatchCam camera. However, the conversation wouldn't have been complete if we didn't delve into the fishing industry's current challenges. Listen below as Oliver McBride and Tom Rossiter, our Head of #PrecisionFishing, discuss the importance of vessel efficiency for fuel savings, environmental impact reduction, and overall #fishing success ⬇️ For the full episode access: https://hubs.ly/Q02Hsg6T0

More often than not, fishermen have to rely on their intuition and experience to figure out how their nets are performing. An underwater camera can solve this. By recording footage of fishing gear in action, cameras like #CatchCam gather underwater evidence. This leads to clearer insights into fishing operations, enabling skippers and their crews to quickly address any issues, improve accuracy, and ultimately, fish better.

CatchCam footage from inside a shrimp #trawl in the Oslo Fjord ⬇️ “Unfortunately, the shrimp don't pass through as smoothly as I had hoped. They often pile up in front of the grid”, revealed the skipper of the Ulsvaag II after watching the underwater video below. The Norwegian fisherman shares that: “#CatchCam provides a unique insight into what's happening underwater, and it's truly eye-opening.” Read about this deployment and access more underwater footage here: https://hubs.ly/Q02Hs8lN0 #NorthSea #CommercialFishing #SeafoodIndustry #Norway

Watch below as a #CatchCam camera, by SafetyNet Technologies, was placed inside the extension of a #trawl net ⬇️ This time, the underwater footage is supporting Norwegian skipper Arlid Karlsen: “#CatchCam was really helpful in making sense of the grid system. It also helped with understanding the behaviour of the catch in the net and this information can be used to avoid unwanted #bycatch. Without combining the two technologies I think we would still be guessing what is going on down there.” Check the full story and watch more underwater footage here: https://hubs.ly/Q02Hr_jS0 #Norway #NorthSea #SeafoodIndustry

Correctly adjusted doors are essential for any trawl fisherman. If the doors are not set right, fuel consumption increases, and fishing efficiency decreases. While sensor systems provide data on spread, they lack precision regarding the angle of attack and ground contact. Using an underwater camera to monitor trawl door performance can help fishermen fine-tune their setup. And, the CatchCam camera offers just that. With the newly launched Warp Attachment, the camera can now easily fit on warp, wires, frames, stanchions—you name it.

Imagine revolutionizing ocean health monitoring while making fishing more sustainable and fishermen's lives easier. Thanks to a #CiscoInnovation partnership between Heriot-Watt University, Cisco Research Centre, and SafetyNet Technologies, this vision is now a reality! Sensors attached to fishing gear collect crucial data on water temperature, salinity, turbidity, and depth. When these sensors surface, Cisco's IoT edge intelligence steps in to extract and process the data, providing invaluable insights.

Listen to the podcast episode below as Oliver McBride from the The Fishing Daily - UK and Ireland Fishing News platform, publishing articles from trusted sources and SafetyNet Technologies Head of #PrecisionFishing, Tom Rossiter guide you through the use of the newly launched Warp Attachment for the #CatchCam camera ⬇️ For the full episode access: https://hubs.ly/Q02GDTBS0 The Warp Attachment was designed to provide flexibility when filming #FishingGear underwater. It allows users to quickly and safely attach the #CatchCam camera to a warp, wire, stanchion, or frame. So, whether you’re looking to fine-tune your #trawl door setup, monitor their efficiency, or simply showcase your #fishing techniques, the Warp Attachment allows you to do so with ease.

Final moment before the net is retrieved aboard the vessel Igueldo ⬇️ The 83-metre vessel integrated the #CatchCam camera with their sensor system to monitor catch behaviour inside the net. This is one of the many underwater videos recorded by the camera during deployments in the #FalklandIslands.

We recently met with the Killybegs Fishermens Organisation Ltd (KFO) to introduce our CatchCam system! Our head of Precision Fishing, Tom Rossiter, conducted a workshop at Bruach na Mara, showcasing how #CatchCam can enhance gear performance, improve selectivity, and support projects like the EU LIFE-funded CIBBRiNA initiative, which aims to minimise bycatch of endangered species. CatchCam's versatility make it ideal for pelagic, demersal, and crustacean #fisheries. We’re thrilled to see it in action soon in the Bay of Biscay on the Father McKee and Brendelen for the Albacore Tuna fishery.
