The disclosed subject matter concerns a system and related method that forms a wall of bubbles, which is used to catch fish. The system consists of or can include, at least, two boats, two or more chambers, a suction pump, a compressor and a device that forms a wall of bubbles, constituted by one or more bubble making chambers, one or more conducting chambers, conducting tubes, floating tubes and ballast, which, by forming a “net” of bubbles, enables fish to be trapped and subsequently caught. Thus, the disclosed subject matter is useful for catching fish in a more economical and ecological manner, eliminating conventional nets and reducing the level of non-target species being caught. Another advantage is an improvement in the quality of the catch. This system can be used in the fishing industry and in aquaculture.
System for capturing fish comprising at least two vessels, two or more cameras, a suction pump connected to the bilge of the main vessel for storing the captured fish, an electrical or diesel air-pump, with a pressure higher than 5 bar, and a device forming a wall of bubbles, comprising one or more cameras forming bubbles, conductive channels, floating channels and a ballast.
