Predator-Free Farms
The SalmonSafe™ System protects salmon and other farm raised fish from predatory seals, and other mammalian predators, without harming the environment, or the predators. By working with the environment, SalmonSafe™ leverages Mother Nature to provide a predator-friendly sound barrier that surrounds and safeguards farm raised fish.
Our acoustic barrier drastically reduces the costs associated with:
Our acoustic barrier drastically reduces the costs associated with:
- Predator reduction programs, such as shooting seals.
- Equipment repair and replacement, including installing and maintaining anti-predation netting and cages.

From the Lab to the Farm

Studies suggest that the benefits of this seamless removal of predators from your fish environment go beyond preventing population attrition and loss due to predation and can directly benefit the fish. For example, studies show that removing stress associated with the 'fight or flight' reaction and the resulting tranquil environment directly leads to:

Unique Revolutionary Pathway
GenusWave's acoustic technology replaces loud deterrents (to which predators habituate) with the startle reflex - activating the fundamental mammalian reflex that protects the animal from harm. A specific frequency triggers an instinctive flight response that conditions the animal to avoid the area. The seals do not habituate to the reflex; repeated exposure only leads to increased responsiveness.
Responsible Stewardship
|
GenusWave technology has been recognized to minimize negative environmental impact by stewardship and conservation groups. One such group, the Scottish Natural Heritage – the lead public body responsible for advising Scottish Ministers on all matters relating to the natural heritage – permits the use of SalmonSafe technology in their heritage sites while simultaneously prohibiting the deployment of conventional acoustic deterrent systems as unacceptably damaging to the ecosystem.
