Precision Fishing With Underwater Lights

UP TO 90% REDUCTION OF BYCATCH

SIMPLE REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

FITS SEAMLESSLY INTO YOUR FISHING OPERATIONS

PISCES SERVICE

Alongside the Pisces Lights, we provide a science-based service. Pisces achieves significantly different effects depending on where it is attached to the fishing gear and what colour, intensity and flash-rate are used. This adaptability allows Pisces to work in multiple different fisheries. We will guide you on the best way to implement and customise Pisces within your fishing operation. Our service is provided at a subscription-based model to fit your cash flow needs. Above all, we are there when you need us.

PISCES LIGHTS

Pisces is a kit of lights that you attach to your fishing gear. Configurable LED lights can attract your target catch whilst repelling unwanted bycatch. Select one of six colours, four flashing rates and four brightnesses to achieve greater control of your catch composition.

Designed with fishers for fishers, Pisces fits seamlessly with your fishing operations. Each kit of 10-lights comes in a heavy-duty case that doubles as a wireless charger. More importantly, each 10hr charge provides up to 270hrs of use- so Pisces does not stop working until you do. It is easy to retrofit onto many types of fishing gear. Therefore, helping you to comply with new fishing regulations that reward the use of sustainable fishing gear. Once attached, Pisces will not interfere with the use of your nets because it is neutrally buoyant, flattened and highly durable.

Reduce your bycatch by up to 90%

SafetyNet Technologies enabled fishers and scientists to work together and test new devices that could have a major impact on one of the global oceans’ largest environmental problems, unwanted bycatch in fisheries. Their generous approach unlocked innovators in the industry to test the equipment with input from my team and resulted in a scientifically peer reviewed publication which showed the potential of using light to manipulate fish behaviour and reduce bycatch

It’s been very pleasant working with the SafetyNet Technologies team because what we wanted to achieve was a balance between the viability of the industry, protection of fish stocks and compliance with EU regulations.

We used PISCES to investigate how fish behaviour can be altered to enhance catch separation in a divided trawl cod end.

We used PISCES lights as an important part of our method to enable fishermen to change the selective properties of their gear and reduce unwanted catch in a Nephrops trawl.
