Some Impacts of Remote System Technology on Future Fisheries Management. Fisheries Stock Assessment. Title 12. Collaborative Research Support Program

摘要

Much of fisheries research and management suffers from inefficient and labor-intensive techniques. One of the highest potentials for increased efficiency is remote system technology. Examples are the application of remote automated hydroacoustic sensing devices and remote operating vehicles (ROVs). Remote hydroacoustic systems are currently used to monitor salmonid escapements, measure downstream salmonid migration past hydroelectric dams, evaluate environmental impacts, and investigate long-term trends in fish abundance and behavior. ROVs especially with hydroacoustic as well as video sensors, allow for routine assessment of many fish stocks and for study of fish behavior in response to fishing gear. Both of these types of remote technologies are economically accessible.
