In 2005, Marine Instruments made buoys with satellite communication available to the tuna sector, until then based on HF radio. The change from radio to satellite technology opened up the possibility of sharing buoys between ships and allowed the information to also be received in the shipowners' offices.
Four years later, the company became the first to introduce an acoustic transducer inside the buoy. Thus, the satellite buoy began to give information about the presence or not of fish and in what quantity to optimize the fishing routes that they had been doing up to that moment.

The role of feed is fundamental not only in the production of salmonids, but also has a fundamental role in making the sustainable development of salmon farming a reality.
The role of feed is fundamental not only in the production of salmonids, but also has a fundamental role in making the sustainable development of salmon farming a reality. And here, the general manager of BioMar, Eduardo Hagedorn, was emphatic in affirming that it is possible to double production by 2050 in a sustainable way.
Some 2.38 million tonnes of the global tuna catch is now certified to the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standard for sustainable fishing, according to the international non-profit organisation’s latest quarterly tuna update.
The MSC-certified volume represents 47% of the global wild commercial tuna harvest. As a result, the number of brands selling tuna with the MSC label now totals 430, with 202 selling skipjack, 106 selling yellowfin and 122 selling albacore.
The Iceland Fisheries Agency has completed the allocation of 131,826 tonnes of the catch limit for capelin, but the Icelandic government has already been allocated 7,318 tonnes of Icelanders’ share of the catch, or 5.3% in accordance with the provisions of the Act on Settlement and Employment Quotas.
The trawler, Venus NS receives by far the most tonnage at 12,310 tonnes, followed by the Vilhelm Þorsteinsson EA which receives 12,121 tonnes.
