Systems and methods for automated fish culling

This invention describes an automated system for identifying which fish in a group should be removed. It works by attaching a unique "cull tag" to each individual fish. A central base station receives information about each tagged fish, such as its weight, and uses this data to decide which fish to cull, displaying the results on a screen. The system can also store data remotely and track fish using GPS.

Why it matters: Since 2015, the miniaturization and power efficiency of submersible electronics, including small displays and GPS modules for individual tags, have significantly improved. This makes the electronic cull tags and their data transmission more feasible and durable for aquatic environments.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateElectronic fish tags, software logic, base station
