Fisheries Stock Success Assessment.  Evaluation of a fish population's reproductive health by analyzing how well fish stock is contributing to the next generation is essential in determining if the current population is producing enough young fish to sustain itself in the future and to guide future fisheries management actions. Using our ROV services, we can provide visualization of fish nesting/spawning characteristics including distribution, abundance, and health. Our services can also include collection of eggs for genetic identification and health status analysis

 

MARES also offers fish pond inspection for the aquaculture industry, small and large.  Routine check for structure damages, water quality, and fish health in fish farms are essential for maintaining optimal production with high-quality standards and to early identify potential problems.

 

The MARES ROV system provides not only high resolution and real-time video capturing to assess underwater structure conditions (lining/mesh ruptures, base cracking, bottom debris accumulation) and fish welfare (nesting, swimming activity, skin infections/damage, and death), but also a set of integrated sensors to measure water quality data.  MARES ROVs also are capable of in-situ water sampling and dead fish retrieval for further laboratory analysis.
