Start year 2006 End year 2007 Funding (€) € NA Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/353034/ Summary The project, entitled Catch gauge for commercial fishing, has been supported by FHF and has been ongoing in two years. The project's goal has been to further develop the automatic catch meter CatchMeter so that this is adapted to commercial needs and can be used in the commercial industry CatchMeter is an automatic measuring system that uses camera and laser to measure art and size. This happens as soon as the fish passes the machine, and the information can therefore used immediately to sort fish using sorting machines. An automatic catch meter will help to rationalize operations on board and to increase the quality of the fish. Automatic sorting by species and size will reduce the need for manual effort in the factory, and in many cases also provide increased capacity because manual sorting is often a bottleneck. The quality will improve due to the shorter time from the time the fish is caught until it has been processed, at the same time as one will be able to get better and more accurate sorting. The system will also be able to contribute to document quality and traceability. The analysis of utility value for the industry that was carried out, showed that a commercial trawler in Norway would be able to earn a million annually by using an automatic sorting system of size and species. In addition, the system will also be able to provide other benefits such as better quality of frozen fish, faster catch reporting, more by-products and savings of working hours on board.
