Floating cages have increased shellfish survival, decreased fouling, and increased the quality of shellfish being produced. However, this gear is often attractive to birds which may be spread contaminants such as fecal coliform and campylobacteria . Many methods, including perching deterrents, sound devices, and submerging bags, have been developed and tested to deter birds from aquaculture predation facilities. However, birds often adapt quickly to the presence of these deterrents and their effectiveness is often limited to short-term benefits. Recent advances in acoustic and laser deterrent systems have been found to be effective at orchards and poultry farms and may help reduce avian predation at aquaculture facilities . As such, we used a camera trapping survey to examine the effectiveness, ease of use, and practicality (e.g. cost/benefit) of acoustic and laser deterrent systems on fish farms in Kansas, Michigan, and Missouri. Deterrent systems were programmed to primarily target Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias ) although we considered additional species opportunistically in our analyses. Avian predator abundance was measured before, during, and after the use of each deterrent (laser or acoustic) using camera images analyzed by artificial intelligence (AI). In addition, an integrated pest management (IPM) approach was used to see if the combination of acoustic and laser systems further reduced predation at fish production facilities. The amount of time spent actively feeding significantly decreased (p<0.05) in all treatments and at all sites. Additionally, birds were observed actively avoiding or otherwise acting strangely (e.g. sitting, pacing) in areas with the deterrents in place. Discussions will include insight into how our findings may apply to shellfish production and how our results may help producers make informed de cisions on reducing avian abundance at shellfish production facilities.
