SeaGuard - Acoustic Deterrent
Round-the-clock safe protection of your livestock from opportunistic predators is critical. Our new generation of SeaGuard has been carefully developed to harmlessly but effectively deter predators from making attacks on fish livestock while providing a complete suite of performance monitoring and data recording functions, and cetacean friendly features. The SeaGuard 2-Channel Acoustic Seal Deterrent System is a proven ‘must have’ for fish farms experiencing difficulty with unwanted predators. The SeaGuard does not use sound alone to deter and maintain deterrence of seals and other predators, it uses physiological techniques rather than psychological ‘scaring’. This creates an acoustic barrier or guard around each pen and the site to safely and promptly deter seals.

Cetacean friendly
We understand the need to ensure that our acoustic deterrents do not cause unnecessary harm to cetaceans. Therefore, SeaGuard includes a whale and dolphin-friendly ‘soft-start’ function - an extremely beneficial operation that gives mammals the opportunity to evacuate the area prior to the unit ramping up to full power.
Data Logging System
Full data logging and remote system controllable parameters come as standard with SeaGuard. With dedicated software, you can audit the full history as well as receive alerts of any malfunctions or reduced performance. Each SeaGuard can be serviced with ease by dialling in, reducing service time and costs.
