HarvestSelect™
The best way to catch and release
Overview
The HarvestSelect™ is a system that automates the sorting of commercial hatchery fish from wild fish and other bycatch. It uses a combination of artificial intelligence, image recognition, and adjustable fishways to direct the target fish into a fishing vessel and release the non-target fish back to the river.

Increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of commercial hatchery fish harvest by sorting the fish 24/7 without human intervention.
Enhancing the sustainability of wild fish runs
Enhancing the sustainability and conservation of wild fish populations by avoiding unwanted mortality and preserving genetic diversity.
