Innovations in monitoring technology transforming fisheries and aquaculture
By Amy Thompson, Product Manager, Teledyne Valeport
‘Water quality’ refers to a variety of indicators that gauge the health of a water body or aquatic ecosystem. The term is used frequently but can sometimes be misunderstood. Encompassing physical, chemical and biological measurements of a water body, gathered data can provide insights into the health of fisheries and aquaculture, the status of inland waterways and rivers, the effectiveness of water treatment, and a range of other applications.
A New Combination of Optical and Telemetry Technology to Monitor Remote Sites for Harmful Algal Blooms

Dye tracing at depth
As part of a project in the Dordogne, CPGF Horizon were contracted to investigate the susceptibility of a well to surface pollution. The project was further complicated by:
• The requirement to install equipment at a depth of more than 100 metres
• A complex installation - the cable had to pass through cable glands and packers to maintain the integrity of the well.
