Sound waves
to catch fish
Australian scientists working in
French Polynesia are reportedly
making progress in the use of under water sound emissions to attract and
repel fish.
The research, in the Rangiroa lagoon, is being directed by Mr Theo W. Brown and sponsored by about 50 French and foreign companies.
The aim is to aid the fishing industry on the one hand and safeguard human lives (against sharks) on the other.
Main problem has been that fish may finally become conditioned to the sounds and no longer make the
appropriate approach or withdrawal.
However, it is reported that this diffi
culty is being overcome, particularly
in regard to the attracting process, so that the scientists are able to attract shoals of several thousand fish and control their movements for several hours on end.
These results could be revolu
tionary for the fishing industry, al
though they inevitably raise the
problem of over-exploitation of the sea.
