AutoFish Sorting

An integral component of Northwest Marine Technology's AutoFish System ^TM is the AutoFish Sorter. The sorter uses video imaging and fish behavior to accurately measure fish in a stress free environment. The sorter measures the fish within one millimeter of total length and distributes them into size categories.

Touch screen software allows operators to view and change the system configuration.

Operators can observe individual fish, their lengths, and destinations. A graph shows the current size distribution, allowing the operator to fine tune the system. Tabular data compares the current distribution with the previous day's processing and shows the number of fish distributed into each size category.

Once a fish is measured, the software selects the appropriate size category described by the user. The sorter instructs the diverter to open the appropriate port and the fish is routed to the lines for further processing.
