CEFAS22-137 Services for analysis of Electronic Monitoring footage under Clean Catch UK

The Supplier is required to analyse Electronic Monitoring footage for four fishing vessels: Kimberly Jo, Vesta, Radjel and Julie Girl. The footage to be analysed is all footage captured from January 2021 to June 2022.

The purpose of this analysis is to validate the skippers self-reporting of wildlife bycatch submitted using the Clean Catch UK app.

The software required for the analysis is the Anchorlab Software. The Electronic Monitoring footage has been obtained from Anchorlab Monitoring systems. The raw footage (not analysed) will be uploaded to the system by Cefas staff for analysis once the quotation has been accepted.

The analysis to be performed by Anchorlab must include:

1. The details of each haul for all four fishing vessels
2. A footage review for each of the four fishing vessels and by haul at x4 speed. The presence or absence of all megafauna by species or higher taxonomic level possible and number of individuals.
3. A footage review of 20% of the hauls for all four fishing vessels, for all seabird bycatch, by species and number.
4. Provision of images extracted from the footage (in screen shot format) of all wildlife bycatch recorded for Cefas to conduct Quality Assurance analysis.

The data output should be in the format of .CSV for data fields and .JPEG images for the image snapshots.
