Abstract

The SOUND project focuses on developing a swarm of low-cost Lagrangian floaters capable of providing non-invasive aquaculture and fishing support, especially in remote areas and developing countries. The floaters drift with the current and use their buoyancy control mechanism to achieve profiling and depth-keeping behaviours, performing active acoustic fish detection and biomass assessment. This paper details the mechanical and algorithmic design of the SOUND floater prototype, as well as results achieved in laboratory experiments and during sea trials.
