In particular, this applies to the development of solutions for automatic catch handling on board. Keeping the fish alive, for large vessels is one of the most important areas where solutions must be developed to improve the quality of the fish. In addition, technology will be developed for automatic anesthesia and bluing on board. This should lead to more efficient catch handling, reduce strain injuries among fishermen and at the same time make this profession more attractive to ensure recruitment. A better soaking and faster processing of the fish should help to improve the quality of the final product, which will help to increase the market value of fish caught with purse seines. This can be charged a higher price while improving the reputation of this type of fishery and increasing its competitiveness compared to other fishing methods. Furthermore, there is a desire in the industry to develop solutions for weight registration and species sorting of the catches. Solutions established in purse seine fishing are expected to be able to be implemented in other fisheries as well and will have great value for the entire Norwegian fishing fleet. This could represent a revolution in on-board processing of fish.
This project will work with solutions within two main areas;
(1) stability and physical framework conditions for seine vessels linked to the installation of new automatic systems for catch handling and
(2) more gentle storage of live fish at/on board before killing."
