Underwater Alert Device with Shark Deterrent
20170008604 · 2017-01-12 ·

This document presents a multiple alert and deterrent device that may be used in underwater environments to present visual and audio signals to alert other divers, and simultaneously generate a voltage that serves as a deterrent to sharks. The activation of all alert and deterrent components occurs simultaneously when a user activates the device. Device activation may occur as the result of a user selection, or may be configured to occur automatically when a user removes the device from a connection to the user's clothing or any equipment associated with the user to which the device is attached.

Water oxygenation system and method to improve the efficacy and utilization of fish slides and ladders

There is provided a system and method for managing fish migration in a body of water in the vicinity of an artificial or natural barrier. The system including a source of saturated water, where the saturated water is water having a dissolved gas level that is higher than that in the body of water. The system also includes outlets in fluid communication with the source of saturated water, each outlet being positioned at a predetermined position in the body of water to eject the saturated water into the predetermined position. The system further includes a pump in fluid communication with the source of saturated water and the outlets for moving the saturated water from the source to the one or more outlets, wherein flow of the saturated water into the body of water raises the dissolved gas level at the predetermined positions, thereby drawing the fish towards the predetermined positions.

Acoustic Shark Repellent Device
