About Traditional Fisheries: SmartTrap
Traditional Fisheries is the world’s largest seafood distributor of lionfish in the US. We also have the largest distribution network spanning from North America, Caribbean nations to South America. The Smart-Trap is a solar powered underwater enabled device for catching fish based on their dimensional appearance and swimming patterns. Our image recognition software uses optical sensors and a submerged actuator to identify targeted fish. It is automated and unmanned. Hyper-targeted fishing: Preventing bye-catches and overfishing. Lowering costs for commercial fishing: Unmanned, no throw-outs, self-sustaining. Sustainable: Protects endangered species from inadvertent catching. Operates on solar energy. Invasive species control + sales: Lowering procurement costs and distribution.
