FishTick is used to count fish at all Connecticut Basin dams where fish are counted. Contact us for a copy for a draft evaluation report on the use of FishTick.

EAWAG is using the software at Reuss River in Switzerland.  FishTick is also being used in Italy.

 

We have done extensive work with Environment Agency Wales on providing additional features to allow widespread use across Wales.  A report, titled  “Using video images for fisheries monitoring:  A manual for using underwater cameras, lighting, and image analysis” can be found by clicking here.
