Bottom trawl

  • Adapt technological advances in artificial intelligence and sensor networks to fishing gear.
  • Measure in real time the impact of fishing gear on species, detect and identify the species caught.

To pelagic trawl

  • From prototype trawl to professional fisherman’s vessel: tests at the Lorient full tank and full-scale tests at sea on an oceanographic vessel.
  • Make it possible to detect high abundances of bycatch and activate escapement devices or change fishing areas.
