New Product Development
ISI FISH accompagne NKE dans la définition d’une application dédiée à la pêche à la senne pour sa sonde de Température/Pression SP2T-NKE.
Through our specific knowledge of the difficulties and constraints specific to the industry and marine technologies, Isi Fish has identified an application to more accurately determine the behaviour of the seine net as it sinks according to its environment (water temperature, thermocline position), at a lower cost than existing products. ISI FISH in partnership with NKE developed an application specifically for seine fishing. The SP2T-NKE uses pressure and temperature data probes to record sink rate, depth and temperature during fishing operations.
Through its role in such creative dynamics, Isi Fish shares its expertise in the fisheries sector and its vision of the product and features that will meet professionals’ requirements.

Buoy technology development
After a series of deadly shark attacks on the beaches of the French owned island, La Reunion, in 2012 – 2013, Isi Fish jointly collaborated in the design and development of the MLI-S buoy.
Contacted by the CRPMEM (fishing committee, La Reunion), a group of industry specialists including; Gildas Bodilis (Isi Fish), Francois Pino (Marine Instruments) and David Guyomard united to find a solution that would enable an alert system, in real-time to be triggered in the case of a shark capture on a drumline. Specifications were made and the buoy was designed and delivered a few months later.
In 2014, CRPMEM and Isi Fish presented the ‘Smart Drumline’ project and the results of the initial testing of the new product at the Shark International conference in Durban.
Poster Smart Drumline: the first time alert buoy fishing gear for maximising the survival of catches: a new application developed in Reunion Island. Presented at the Sharks International Conference in Durban, 2014.
