Global finfish aquaculture technology developer Gael Force Group has launched a new integrated range of HD camera products under its SeaSight brand.
The company announced on 28 July that its SeaSight range had been “substantially advanced” with the inclusion of the HD Camera, which captures high-definition footage underwater. Equipped with new SeaSight Control software, “the full offering has been designed to provide salmon farmers with greater clarity and control, enhancing the task of monitoring feeding and fish activity inside pens,” Gael Force said.
SeaSight Control can be fully-integrated with the company’s SeaFeed Pellet Detection package, the developer added. Pellet Detection is capable of using clear video imagery from the SeaSight HD Camera, as well as “sophisticated detection algorithms to intelligently pinpoint feed pellets.” Altogether, the full system offers automatic control of feeding and, if opted for, “detection in manual mode as a visual aid with user defined ‘threshold’ triggers within SeaSight Control, offering the operator even more data to make informed decisions about their feed plans,” Gael Force said.
The navigation with SeaSight Control is straightforward and the HD Camera windows are completely scalable, allowing the user flexibility to define screen layout, the company explained.
Another product debuted with the range, the SeaSight Double Winch, gives operators even more control over the mechanisms of the SeaSight HD Camera, permitting both horizontal and vertical movements.
“This offers increased control over its positioning throughout the pen which is particularly of benefit in high energy conditions,” Gael Force noted.
Additionally, Gael Force is launching its SeaSight Fixed Look Up/Down HD Camera as part of the range, “a perfect option for low cost installations,” the company said. Operators can view feeding activity from either a “look-up” fixed position or the camera can be position pointing downward to monitor morts at the bottom of the pen.
“We have invested a significant amount of time and effort bringing together all the elements of the new SeaSight range. It’s fantastic to see our new products and software working in tandem, empowering our customers to feed and care for their fish even more sustainably,” Gael Force Aquaculture Sales Manager Craig Graham said in a press release.
Innovation is a high strategic priority within the company’s five-year growth strategy, released in July 2020, Graham added.
“Our product development team has been working hard on a roadmap of new products, and it’s really their hard work that has allowed us to overhaul the range to such an extent," he said. "However, we are not done there as there is lots more to come in the future, and I’m looking forward to us being able to reveal those to our customers in due course.”
