Real-time Remote Marine Ecosystem Assessment System

Environmental Information Analysis Fisheries Resource Management Ecosystem Restoration and Management Education, Outreach, and Cultural Development

Overview

We provide marine ecosystem assessment tools using fixed observation buoys equipped with ultrasonic underwater visualization sensors, water drones, and small vessels. The system assesses not only marine organisms such as fish and squid but also seabed information including seaweed beds.

Technology strengths

Real-time underwater visualization, used in next-generation fish finders and obstacle-detection sensors for underwater drones and UUVs, enables remote assessment of marine ecosystems.

Deployment examples

Partner

Toyama City

Use case

A MagicBuoy sensor was operated to predict in real time the catch of firefly squid entering fixed nets in Toyama, where the fishery takes place from winter through spring.
