Depth/Temperature Sensor

The Temperature Sensor measures the temperature around the trawl to determine if conditions are favorable for the targeted fish species. The Depth Sensor measures the trawl depth, and the descent / ascent rate of the net.

The dual purpose Depth/Temperature Sensor combines the individual features of the Depth and Temperature Sensors, allowing a vessel to quickly find the best environment and depth for precise fishing. Direct replacement for Scanmar depth and temperature sensors.

Features

• Highly accurate temperature and depth readings are used to determine if conditions are favourable for the targeted fish species
• The depth sensor provides vital information about the trawl's approach to the bottom, especially in deep-water fisheries, where the depth must be known in order to position the trawl properly
• An optional 4 GB memory card allows this sensor to be used as a data logger, no hydrophone necessary
• Lithium-Ion battery

Benefits

• Minute changes in temperature provide information about the habitat of certain fish species. The Temperature Sensor helps eliminate wasted time and fuel spent towing in water that is not suited to the target species
• The Depth Sensor increases efficiency as it assists in placing the trawl at the specific desired depth
