GenusWave designs and manufactures sound technologies that are safe for animals and protect natural environments. The Targeted Acoustic Startle Technology (TAST), deters marine mammals from human activities, ensuring their safety and minimising disruption.
Developed collaboratively with the University of St Andrews’ Scottish Oceans Institute, TAST operates on the autonomous auditory startle reflex, triggering avoidance responses without causing harm. TAST provides the global aquaculture and fishing industries with the benefits of increased fish retention and reduced risk of marine mammal depredation, entanglement, and interference. Our research, documented in peer-reviewed literature, continues to explore future applications to benefit both people and wildlife.
