1. An imaging system for an aquaculture environment, the system comprising:
a first illumination device configured to radiate light of a first frequency range;
a second illumination device configured to radiate light of a second frequency range, the second frequency range being at least partially non-overlapping with the first frequency range;
a camera device configured to capture images of the aquaculture environment; and
a control system configured to synchronize operations of the camera device and the first and second illumination devices such that:
the first and second illumination devices are alternately activated at a particular switching rate to illuminate the aquaculture environment, and
the camera device captures at least (i) a first image during a time period when the first illumination device is activated and the second illumination device is switched off, and (ii) a second image during a time period when the second illumination device is activated and the first illumination device is switched off,
wherein the particular switching rate is selected in accordance with a persistence of vision associated with marine life in the aquaculture environment.
