ABSTRACT:
A system for directing fish away from danger points at an underwater structure includes multiple submersible flash heads operatively connected to a flash head control unit. The flash sequence, rate and intensity are adjustable by the system operator in real time using a system control unit which can be remotely located. The flash heads are strobed in a manner intended to alter the behavior of the fish. The system may include means to generate an air curtain near the flash heads to improve light dispersion and water jet means to clean the lenses on the flash heads.
