  • Patent number: 12616187
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for deterring aquatic animals. The system includes a plurality of deterrent modules which are spaced apart from, and interconnected with, each other, and which are, in use, positioned/located in a body of liquid at spaced apart positions/locations. The deterrent modules are configured to generate an electro-magnetic field(s) between the spaced apart deterrent modules such that, when the deterrent modules are located in the body of liquid, an electro-magnetic field(s) is generated between the deterrent modules within the body of liquid, to thereby form a non-physical barrier between the deterrent modules within the body of liquid, which deters aquatic animals. The system also includes a management module which is configured to monitor the operation or functioning of each deterrent module by receiving data from each deterrent module. The data received from each deterrent module relates to an operation or functioning of the particular deterrent module.
