The Taiwan Squid Game
The Squid Game you might have seen on Netflix is quite different from the one we experience here in Taiwan. Squids require a specific environment to thrive and ensure the prosperity of future generations. Factors like water quality, currents, and unique habitats play a pivotal role in their life cycle.
Given that the livelihood of local fishers relies heavily on squid, the alarming decline in their population in recent years has necessitated urgent research. A team from Taipei University of Marine Technology deployed our observation-class ROV I90, split into various tasks, to assess the seabed and seawater conditions conducive to squid survival. Outfitted with multibeam technology, GPS, an astigmatism buoy, and a manipulator, the I90 successfully completed its mission, collecting crucial underwater data transmitted via optical fiber.
In this Squid game, transmitting and analyzing underwater conditions are crucial for further studies aimed at restoring a conducive habitat for squids. Moreover, the insights gathered will be invaluable for the government in formulating fishing policies. Our ROV setup ensured seamless data transmission. A highly functional ROV should be adaptable and customizable to suit diverse missions. This is precisely what you get when using our ROV services. Additionally, for this particular task, we had a skilled ROV pilot as part of the team to ensure smooth operations.
