May 28, 2014 — IQinVision, market leader in high-performance HD megapixel IP cameras, today announced that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWSFC), in La Jolla, CA, has installed IQinVision megapixel cameras to provide surveillance of the experiments conducted in their new Ocean Technology Development Tank.
The new SWFSC laboratory houses the large-scale, controlled-environment Ocean Technology Development Tank. This world-class facility will expand NOAA's ability to develop and apply advanced technologies for ecosystem-based surveys of fish and protected species and will foster collaborations on ocean sampling technologies with local, regional and international partners.
Although several facilities in the US and abroad have some form of a test tank, no tank currently exists that has all the characteristics required to realize the advanced technologies essential for achieving NOAA's current and future missions. The SWFSC Ocean Technology Development Tank will be the only large (10 m wide x 20 m long x 10 m deep), thermohaline-controlled test tank facility in the world, which is also able to accommodate live animals.
