Abstract: A sensor positioning system (100), includes an actuation server (201) for communicating with components of the sensor positioning system. The sensor positioning system additionally includes a first actuation system (402) and a second actuation system (404), wherein each actuation system includes a pulley system (406, 408) for maneuvering an underwater sensor system (429). The sensor positioning system includes a dual point attachment bracket (124, 224, 324, 424) that connects through a first line (410) to the first actuation system and connecting through a second line (412) to the second actuation system. The underwater sensor system is affixed to the first pulley system, the second pulley system, and the dual attachment bracket through the first line and the second line.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for a lighting controller for sea lice detection. In some implementations, fish are contained within an elliptical tank filled with water. An imaging station located on the elliptical tank is used to capture an image of a fish from which image analysis can be performed to detect sea lice or other skin features, including lesions, on the fish. Pairs of imaging assemblies coordinate pulsing light of at least a first and a second color and capturing images of the fish while the fish is illuminated by at least the first and the second color. By using the captured images with different color light, computers can detect features on the body of a fish including sea lice, skin lesions, shortened operculum or other physical deformities and skin features. Detection results can aid in mitigation techniques or be stored for analytics.

Abstract: A method performed by one or more processing devices (12, 201), the method comprising:
receiving, by the one or more processing devices, data indicating parameters of a movable underwater sensor system (229) in an aquatic structure (102);
obtaining, by the one or more processing devices, data indicating (i) a position for the underwater sensor system in the aquatic structure and (ii) a measurement to be performed at the indicated position;
causing, by the one or more processing devices, the underwater sensor system to be automatically maneuvered to the indicated position, comprising instructing one or more motorized pulley systems (204, 210) to move a line (206) coupled to the underwater sensor system; and
after reaching the indicated position, causing, by the one or more processing devices, the underwater sensor system to perform the indicated measurement.
