GenusWave was founded in partnership with the biologists from the world-renowned Sea Mammal Research Unit of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Targeted Acoustic Startle Technology (TAST) from GenusWave protects fish from seals and other predators without causing harm to mammals. TAST works by generating an auditory signal that triggers the flight instinct of seals and sea lions, causing them to flee the area. TAST is the only acoustic deterrent proven effective at protecting salmon farms and in-shore fisheries from predators.
TAST has proven highly effective at reducing lost catch by fisheries and lowering salmon predation at fish farms by 90% or more.
