New FRS camera in the water

NORCE Research has installed a new FRS camera in the Bolstad River. It was important to get the system up and running before the spring flooding due to snow melting.

The system was installed by NORCE field biologists, who bolted the durable stainless steel frame to a large boulder . The boulder was then moved to deeper waters. The frame / bracket is designed to withstand heavy impacts by objects that float down the river.

Pelagic fish project with IMR

Mohn Technology and the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research (IMR) are working together to create new tools to improve the accuracy of purse seine fisheries. The project consists of many technological advancements, and Mohn Technology will contribute with our machine vision and remote controlled vehicle knowledge.

The results will help the fishing industry increase their pre-catch knowledge about the fish and improve profits. The tools can also be used by researchers who wish to learn more about the pelagic fish population.

Two FRS pilot projects live

In a cooperation project with NORCE Research, we have delivered our two first pilot systems of the FRS cameras to BKK. BKK, who is interested in the local fish population and migration patterns, has installed the systems at two suitable fish ladders. We are looking forewards to working together with both BKK and NORCE to further develop the system and implement customer ideas and requirements.
