Zusammenfassung:A system (10) for directing fish away from danger points at an underwater structure includes multiple submersible flash heads (13) operatively connected to a flash head control unit (99), which can be either stationary or mobile according to the embodiment of the system chosen. The flash sequence, rate and intensity are adjustable by the system operator in real time using a system control unit (100) which can be remotely located. The flash heads (13), either singularly or connected together in a tri-pack configuration, are strobed in a manner intended to alter the behavior of the fish. The system (10) may include a way to generate an air curtain (72) near the flash heads (13) to improve light dispersion and a water jet (74) to clean the lenses on the flash heads (13).
