Toothed whale (mainly dolphin) alert system for the long line tuna fishing industry
The Global Detection Systems’ environmentally safe acoustic technology will assist fishermen worldwide in avoiding toothed whale interactions that are depleting tuna stocks and also harming the whales.
Gary Clarke, CEO of Global Detection Systems, said “Funding from Commercialisation Australia has helped in acquiring interest from overseas, particularly the US and Japan. Our Commercialisation Australia Case Manager was instrumental in developing a strategy to progress the development and trialling of the technology.”
