Simplifying fish data collection
PhotoChute™ is a controlled AI imaging tunnel designed to capture high-quality, consistent visual data of fish for counting and monitoring as they move naturally through a defined passage. By optimizing lighting location, background color, and camera positioning, PhotoChute™ enables clear, near observation, accurate identification, and repeatable data collection without adding stress to the fish.
Designed to accommodate your own camera system as part of a fishway, hatchery workflow, or monitoring program, PhotoChute™ transforms every fish passing through into a reliable data opportunity—supporting AI recognition, regulatory reporting, and stakeholder communication.
Controlled imaging environment
Optimized lighting location and background color improve image clarity and consistency for identification and analysis.
Low-stress flow-through design
Fish pass naturally through the chute reducing stress and preserving behavior.
AI-ready integration
Designed to pair with image capture and other imaging systems for AI identification and data capture.
High-throughput performance
Supports continuous flow of fish while maintaining consistent imaging quality.
Configurable camera and lighting setup
Flexible integration options allow customization based on site requirements and species needs.
Durable, field-ready construction
Built for aquatic environments with materials suited for long-term deployment or mobile use.
Modular design
Components can be adapted for different sites, transport needs, and deployment configurations.
Fish swim into the PhotoChute™
Fish enter the chute as part of a passage, handling, or monitoring system. The design encourages smooth, uninterrupted movement through the channel.
Capture consistent imagery
As fish move through the chute, your integrated cameras capture images in a controlled environment with optimized lighting portals and consistent background for clarity and contrast.
Generate usable data
When paired with AI systems, PhotoChute™ supports automated identification, sorting, and performance tracking.
The actual product may vary in appearance, including but not limited to color, design, and specifications, due to product enhancements, manufacturing processes, or variations in display settings.
