Midwest Lake Electrofishing Systems is proud to introduce the Infinity Stingray Saltwater Electrofishing Boat, a next-generation research vessel engineered for low-impact fish stock assessment in coastal, estuarine, and freshwater environments.
The Infinity Stingray is the world’s first full-strength saltwater electrofishing boat engineered specifically for professional marine fisheries research and low-impact fish stock assessment. Developed by Midwest Lake Electrofishing Systems, the Stingray was designed to address the growing need for effective electrofishing technology in coastal, estuarine, offshore, and marine environments where traditional methods have historically been limited. The advanced system operates across an exceptionally wide range of salinities and conductivities—from freshwater environments as low as 100 µS to full-strength seawater conditions approaching 35 ppt salinity and 55,000 µS conductivity. This unmatched versatility allows fisheries researchers, resource agencies, and marine biologists to conduct standardized fish sampling across diverse aquatic ecosystems using a single integrated platform. The system is engineered to maximize sampling efficiency while minimizing stress and injury to target species.
Hear directly from fisheries professionals as they discuss the initial field testing and performance results of the Infinity Stingray Saltwater Electrofishing Boat. This in-depth presentation highlights real-world applications, sampling efficiency, fish capture success, and the potential of marine electrofishing technology to enhance fisheries research, population monitoring, and resource management in coastal and estuarine environments.
The Infinity Stingray’s innovative capabilities have also been recognized by the Louisiana Conservationist, which featured the vessel in an article exploring how this next-generation platform is expanding fisheries sampling opportunities and helping advance saltwater fisheries research.
Before being deployed in agency and research applications, the Infinity Stingray underwent extensive field testing in coastal South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana to evaluate system performance, fish capture effectiveness, and operational capabilities across a variety of environmental conditions. These early trials provided valuable insight into the platform’s ability to sample marine and estuarine fish populations while demonstrating the potential of saltwater electrofishing as an effective fisheries assessment tool.
The Infinity Stingray utilizes advanced electrofishing technology specifically engineered to overcome the challenges associated with fish stock assessment in high-conductivity and high-salinity environments. This breakthrough capability allows fisheries professionals to conduct standardized fish stock assessments across freshwater, estuarine, and coastal environments using a single integrated platform.
The system delivers safe, precisely controlled electrical pulses that temporarily immobilize fish for efficient capture, processing, and release while supporting low-impact assessment practices. Combined with sophisticated system controls, advanced safety features, and field-proven reliability, the Infinity Stingray provides researchers and resource managers with a powerful tool for collecting high-quality fisheries data in environments that have historically been difficult or impossible to sample using conventional electrofishing methods.
The Infinity Stingray was purpose-built to support the evolving needs of marine fisheries researchers, resource agencies, environmental consultants, universities, and conservation organizations. From stock assessments, recruitment studies, and habitat evaluations to environmental monitoring, invasive species detection, impact assessments, and long-term fisheries management programs, the Infinity Stingray helps organizations gather the information needed to make informed, science-based decisions and better manage aquatic resources.
