Real-time camera observation in the Danish trawl fishery—technology based intelligent fishery (TEKNOFISK) (39579)

The aim of the project is to develop and commercially test an innovative real-time camera system on board Danish trawlers. The system will allow fishermen to observe, evaluate, and if relevant, actively react on information about the fishing process. A reaction could be to terminate the haul or to shift to alternative depth or fishing ground. Through innovative use and combination of existing technology, the project will develop a real-time tool for decision making. The tool will make the trawl fishery a more knowledge based process, where decisions can be made on better grounds.
