GenusWave’s TAST provides salmon farmers with a comprehensive solution to keep seals away from salmon and minimize fish loss. The only sound deterrent on the market approved by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) for use on ASC-certified farms, TAST is a game changer for the aquaculture industry.
TAST provides the global fishing industry with the benefits of increased catch retention and reduced risk of marine mammal depredation, entanglement, and interference.
TAST can also deter marine mammals from potentially harmful interactions with vessels, oil spills, and offshore development.
TAST can protect wild salmon from over-predation at fish ladders and other migration bottlenecks. GenusWave partners with public and private industry to implement sustainable solutions that support wild salmon conservation.
Marine renewable energy projects have the potential to come into conflict with conservation objectives during their construction and throughout their operational lifecycles. TAST offers a novel approach to solving this conflict and supporting ecologically safe solutions in the marine environment.
GenusWave is developing technology to help minimize driver-animal road accidents, which cause as many as 2 million auto accidents annually in the U.S. alone. Our system will use a combination of light detection and ranging technology (LIDAR), motion detectors, and infrared sensors to identify the presence of animals near roads — even before a driver can see them. Once detected, our system will emit noise doses in a frequency band that triggers the animal’s startle reflex, protecting drivers and wildlife alike.
