One of the biggest bottlenecks for the development of a sustainable sea urchin industry in Norway is a reliable and economically sound fishing method for sea urchins. This experiment has aimed to test whether it is possible to catch commercial quantities of sea urchins during winter conditions in northern Norway using a modified mini submarine (ROV). A series of experiments were carried out to test the catching efficiency of a specially developed mini submarine for catching large scallops. Three fishing trials were carried out on Frøya and Helgeland (December 2011, April 2012 and September 2012) with the mini submarine SeabedHarvester (ROV). Goals: • To determine the efficiency / harvest rate with ROV-based harvesting of sea urchins and scallops. • To determine whether the harvest can be carried out without the animals being harmed or the quality deteriorating in any way. • To determine the environmental challenges and limitations of this type of harvest.
