Abstract: A fish handling unit for processing live fish is provided. Such fish handling unit includes an inspection system configured to inspect a plurality of live fish. A conveyor assembly transports the live fish to the inspection system. At least one robotic cell is in communication with the inspection system. The robotic cell has a controller configured to control operation thereof. An end effector is operably engaged with the robotic cell. The end effector interacts with the live fish moving along the conveyor assembly, based on information determined by the inspection system and received by the controller. The end effector may optionally be an integrated gripper and injection assembly capable of orientation and injection of the live fish. Associated devices and methods are also provided.

Abstract: A method for collection of oil slicks (20) on a water surface, using a barge (1) or similar vessel, with a rectangular, transversal bow section (4) and which is towed by a towboat (5). There is at least one collection device (8) designed to lead oil in toward the bow section (4) of the barge (1). The water below the oil film (20) in front of the bow section (4) of the barge (1) is set in an upward flow, so that water is led up from the water surface, entraining the oil film (20) and across the forward, transversal bow edge (4) and into a tank room (3) in the barge (1). The water in the lower portion of the tank room (3) is led or flows freely into the surrounding water. Outside the bow section (4) there is fastened a device, e.g.
