Feasibility of using Smart and Super Tags for Commercial Lobster and Crab Traps
FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-15
Summary
This project is focused on the development of sensor technology and inventory management hardware for monitoring and managing fishing gear/traps. Specifically aimed to develop technologies that will allow for:
- A robust method (adapting near field communication technologies) for the automated tracking and inventory of commercial lobster and crab traps.
- The tracking/retrieval of lost lobster and crab traps that are found/recovered.
- A method for logging viable catch weights on a trap or trawl-by-trawl basis (with geolocation tagging/mapping).

Description
This project is focused on the development of sensor technology and inventory management hardware for monitoring and managing fishing gear/traps. Specifically aimed to develop technologies that will allow for:
- A robust method (adapting near field communication technologies) for the automated tracking and inventory of commercial lobster and crab traps.
- The tracking/retrieval of lost lobster and crab traps that are found/recovered.

Description (French)
Ce projet est axé sur le développement de la technologie des capteurs et du matériel de gestion des stocks pour la surveillance et la gestion des équipements et des pièges de pêche. L'objectif précis est de développer des technologies qui permettront : - Une méthode fiable (adaptant les technologies de communication en zone proche) pour le suivi et l'inventaire automatisés des cages à homards et à crabes commerciales. - Le suivi/la récupération des cages à homards et à crabes perdues qui sont trouvées/récupérées. - Une méthode d'enregistrement du poids des prises viables par cage ou par chalutier (avec marquage/cartographie par géolocalisation).
