Overview

The TUber™ is a mobile fish transport system that uses the SalmonCannon™, a passive accelerator that propels fish through a flexible transport tube, to safely and efficiently move fish from a river trap to a transport truck or tote. 

Benefits

Reduced Fish Handling and Stress 

The TUber™ minimizes the contact between the fish and the human handlers, as well as the exposure of the fish to air and sun. This reduces the potential for injury, disease, and mortality of the fish, as well as the stress response that can affect their quality and survival. 

​

Increased Efficiency and Productivity 

The TUber™ can transport fish faster and more reliably than manual methods, such as boots or nets. This saves time and labor costs, as well as increases the capacity and throughput of the fish transport process. The TUber™ can also operate in various weather conditions and adapt to different weir-trap setups. 

​

Enhanced Safety and Comfort 

The TUber™ improves the safety and comfort of the fisheries personnel, as they do not have to carry heavy loads of fish or work in harsh environments. The TUber™ also reduces the risk of accidents and injuries that can occur from handling slippery and sharp fish or operating machinery. 

​

Less Environmental Impact     

Getting a fish from the bottom of a ravine or trap to a truck on a roadway above can have a permanent impact on the shoreline.  Running up and down the embankment with heavy equipment or personnel, in combination with a little water, can and does create unwanted erosion. With the TUber, the environmental impact on your shorelines and banks is minimized. The turnkey system is designed to leave no footprint.
