CSAR Facilities

CSAR's facilities include the Flume Tank, Net Loft, Pressure Testing and Camera Systems / ROV's.

Camera Systems / ROV's

CSAR has a number of underwater cameras available for at-sea field work. Depending on the application, video signals may be viewed real-time via umbilical, or stored in self-contained recording bottles.

Flume Tank

The Marine Institute is home to the world’s largest flume tank. This facility is used to carry out performance evaluations, gear tests and other observations on newly developed or existing fishing gears and other related equipment in simulated underwater and near surface conditions.

Net Loft

The development of fishing gears for the commercial fishing industry has changed dramatically over the last few decades. Today's modern designs are more advanced and sophisticated as a result of increasing fuel costs, the need for species- and size-selectivity, stringent bycatch restrictions, and the necessity to minimize impact on the environment.

Pressure Testing

CSAR houses the Marine Institute's hydrostatic test chamber. The 70 liter chamber is able to simulate ocean depths of up to 1800m.
