Fish migration

Fish lift promotes fish migration by helping fish bypass obstacles as naturally as possible with safe passage

AI Fish Recognition

The Fish Elevator uses advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify fish during their migration. This technology allows us to recognise species as well as collect a good picture and data on their size and health. It provides valuable insights that contribute to the science of fish migration and the optimisation of fish migration paths.

Exotic Recognition

Exotic recognition, a unique feature of the Vislift, offers the possibility to identify exotic species that could potentially be harmful to the local ecosystem. Through early detection, management measures can be implemented more efficiently, contributing to the protection of native fish populations and biodiversity.

Insights

The data collected through AI and Exotic recognition provides in-depth insights into fish migration patterns. This information is crucial for research and policy-making and assists in developing strategies for natural restoration and the preservation of biodiversity. The Vislift provides access to a wealth of information, keeping stakeholders informed about the latest trends and developments.

Nature restoration

The Vislift plays a key role in the restoration of natural river landscapes. By facilitating fish migration and supporting the spread of native species, we contribute to the revitalization of waterways. This has not only a positive effect on fish populations but also on the entire ecological community, including plants and other animals.

Social Development Goals

Vislift's efforts resonate with several Social Development Goals (SDGs), including 'Life Below Water' (SDG 14) and 'Responsible Consumption and Production' (SDG 12). By providing innovative solutions for fish migration, we contribute to the global agenda for sustainable development and build a future where humans and nature live in harmony.

Compliancy

Compliance with local and international environmental standards is a foundation of Vislift's design and operation. We are committed to adhering to all relevant legislations and guidelines to minimize the impact on the environment. Our technology is developed with respect for nature, prioritizing the health of the ecosystems in which we operate.

Get a glimpse though the Vislift

The Vislift can be equipped with a Fishcounter. This Fishcounter contains a camera module that not only registers the fish, but also identifies them by species through automatic fish recognition. These images can also be seen in the Vislift Control Centre, making fish migration insightful in addition to measurable.

Many fish species have already used the Vislift, from big fish like carp, catfish and pike to red-listed fish like the European eel and exotics like the Stone moroko, thereby creating an automatic red list and exotic species detection.
