Benefits
The Modular Harvesting System (MHS) offers numerous potential benefits:
- Market premiums
- Higher quality catch (less damage from scale loss, bruising and blood spots)
- Fresher catch (fish are livelier and less fatigued)
- Efficiency gains
- Increased catch volumes (without compromising catch quality)
- Extended soaking times (fish remain alive at depth)
- Increased catch selectivity (species & size)
- Faster net reset times (no mesh for fish to get stuck in)
- Potential for longer rest periods for on-deck crew (due to longer tows)
- Environmental benefits
- increased survivability of unwanted by-catch or juvenile fish
- Increased ecosystem health (reduced interactions with seabirds and protected species)
The MHS technology has set a new benchmark in quality by delivering fresh wild-capture fish in pristine conditions while improving the sustainable utilisation of our precious fish resources.
