Sensor solutions

Hydrophones

  • Allow the reception of signals emitted by sensors placed in the network
  • Models vary in bandwidth, directly influencing the amount of data they can receive and certain characteristics such as position

M3-5-6 Receiver

  • Responsible for receiving signals from sensors and transforming them for the SDS equipment processor to interpret
  • Several versions (M3-M5-M6) with differences in the amount of data they can receive and the number of hydrophones they can connect to

SDS Processor

  • Processes information received by receivers M3-5-6 and sends it to the Mac mini computer for presentation in the Scala software

SCALA System

  • Marport's advanced trawl monitoring system that collects, processes, stores and displays data sent from multiple sensors, sounders and other connected devices
  • Gives the user full control over fishing operations

Spread Sensors

  • Provides real-time information on the horizontal opening of doors or wings
  • Helps skippers understand how doors and the network work, avoiding risks such as entanglements and detecting possible breaks or network filling

Trawl Explorer

  • Provides information on the vertical opening of the network through an echogram
  • Offers data on opening and depth, the amount of fish entering the network, network operation, species, etc.
  • Can also be an option included in other sensors like catch explorer

TE/TS Sensor

  • Combines information from the trawl explorer sensor, providing speed and symmetry
  • Allows knowing the actual speed of the network and adjusting the boat's speed for proper operation

Catch, Bottom Contact Sensor

  • Indicates the amount of capture in the net and detects breaks or contact with the bottom (depending on where you installed it)
  • Sensor can also feature many options

Depth

  • Allows knowing the real position of the sensor with respect to the surface, providing information on the variation in the speed of the arts' fall

Pitch & Roll

  • Allows knowing the real movement of the sensor, providing information on the work of doors and the network

Battery

  • Informs about the battery level in the sensors, optimizing work and charging times, avoiding the placement of sensors with inadequate levels

Position

  • Provides the position of door and network sensors with respect to the boat, crucial to avoiding dangerous work areas

Height in Door Sensor w/ Trawl Explorer Option

  • Allows knowing the distance to the bottom of the doors, avoiding unwanted contacts

Height in Net Sensors w/ Trawl Explorer

  • Informs about the distance to the bottom of the network, minimizing risks of breaks and escape of catches

Height in Seiners w/ Trawl Explorer Option

  • Provides the distance to the bottom of the net, minimizing the risks of bottom contact and escape of catches

Temperature

  • Provides the water temperature at the sensor's location, facilitating the interpretation of fishing conditions
