]]> Testing of the innovative Automated Fish Sorting System developed by Simsonar and FISHBIO has begun in Finnmark, Norway and the first results give hope for success. The project, initiated by the Norwegian Environment Agency, aims to combat invasive pink salmon more effectively while safeguarding native species such as Atlantic salmon. The University of Trondheim is acting as an independent observer of the trial.
 
Installation of the semi-floating dam and the attached Automated Fish Sorting System began in early July. High river levels caused by flooding delayed the work for about a week, but the System, which uses AI to automatically recognise and sort the fish, is now installed and in operation.
 
The system is designed to allow Atlantic salmon to pass upstream while capturing pink salmon in a trap. Current data indicates the system’s potential to help control the invasive species. The sorting system is monitored in real time, ensuring immediate response to any operational issues as testing and developing continues.

Simsonar has joined forces with the Californian consulting company FISHBIO to take part in a competition to build a prototype of a fish sorting passage system to block pink salmon from migrating into rivers in northern Norway.

The project is funded by the Norwegian Environment Agency, and its goal is to fight pink salmon more effectively and efficiently while protecting native species such as Norwegian salmon.

Testing of the prototypes will take place in the summer of 2025 in Troms and Finnmark County.
