Havforskningsinstituttet 971349077 Postboks 1870 Nordnes Bergen 5817 Diana Snibsøer anskaffelser@imr.no https://permalink.mercell.com/72995417.aspx http://www.imr.no/ government institute 2017/1184 Camera system for photographing fish in trawl. 2017/1184 The contracting authority for this procurement is the Institute of Marine Research. The Institute of Marine Research needs a camera based system that can, in a gentle and efficient way, take high quality pictures of fish inside a trawl, without taking the catch on board the vessel. The fish, which are caught in the trawl, are photographed and, using these pictures, the accompanying computer system (analysis software) will be able to determine the species, size and number of fish in the trawl. This, in turn, will be a part of the Institute of Marine Research's tool for, amongst other things, determining correct fish quotas and biological studies of fish. The contracting authority will not sign a contract with a tenderer before 10 days after the notice date at the earliest. 4000000.00 Detailed requirements for the camera system that shall be used to photograph fish in a trawl. The Institute of Marine Research is required to have access to calibration information (calibration matrix) for the cameras that are used, in order to use the data in 3D. It is also important for the development of automated picture analysis. Furthermore, the analysis software delivered by the camera manufacturer must mark pictures with species and length information in a way that can be subsequently quality assured. The camera system shall consist of: — Camera/lighting system with status transferred via an acoustic signal to the vessel and shown in real time during trawling, — Software for analysing pictures. The assembly system shall consist of: — Frame and closing net for fixing in the trawl, — The selection mechanism for taking a ‘sub-sample’ of the fish that passes through the trawl, selecting fish that shall be processed on board the vessel. The pictures that are taken must be in colour in order to distinguish between different species. Furthermore, it must be possible to read the pictures and metadata in the Institute of Marine Research's existing software for interpretation of the acoustic data from the echo sounder. It must be possible to operate all the underwater components down to a minimum of 2 000 metres. The system must be able to be a part of the ordinary trawls that are used and not cause extra work when setting out, pulling and drawing in the trawls, regardless of whether the vessels are with or without trawl slips. The camera system must also be able to give real time transfer of the system status (such as battery level, storage space, etc.) via an acoustic signal that is compatible with hydrophones that are currently used on the vessels. It must be possible to obtain data on species and length (as well as exact time and depth) in a format that can be read by the Institute of Marine Research's databases (e.g. Sea2Data), this is so as to ensure satisfactory quality requirements in the data collection. The following is required: — 1 set of complete camera system (camera/lighting system with software), with acoustic communication link. This must be mobile so that it can be used on vessels that the Institute of Marine Research uses (must be relatively easy to pack down and transport as normal baggage (not dangerous goods) on board aeroplanes. This means that no parts can weigh more than 32 kg including the transport/storage box). — 2 sets of assembly systems, consisting of selection mechanisms, frames and closing nets. One set will be permanently placed on the vessel ‘Dr. Fridtjof Nansen’, which operates in Asia and Africa and one set will be used on the different vessels that the Institute of Marine Research operates on and around the Norwegian coast. The Institute of Marine Research's market knowledge indicates that it is only Scantrol Deep Vision AS who can deliver such a camera system for fish photography in trawls that fulfils the requirements mentioned above, and the Institute of Marine Research therefore intends to enter into a contract with Scantrol Deep Vision AS for the procurement of a camera system and assembly system respectively. The camera system that is delivered by Scantrol Deep Vision AS has been developed as a part of the CRISP-cooperation, of which the Institute of Marine Research is a part. CRISP is a research cooperation between Norwegian and international partners, where the idea is to develop smarter technology in order to meet future challenges for a sustainable and economically viable fishing industry.
