CATCH EXPLORER CE
The Catch Explorer provides a series of updates on the fish as they pass into the codend from the trawl mouth and through the belly
This downward-looking sensor is fitted on the top sheet of a codend or tunnel to all the skipper to monitor the contents of the codend in real time as the gear is fishing, providing a series of updates on the fish as they pass into the codend from the trawl mouth and through the belly.
This gives a rolling echogram image of the volume of catch in addition to the data supplied by the usual codend sensors that are triggered as a certain amount has been caught. The Catch Explorer also features depth, temperature and pitch & roll data.
