Trawl net monitors - a brief introduction

Trawl net monitors

Trawl net monitors have been developed by various companies for many years.

Over the years the technology has improved - battery life has been extended and the functions have been improved, making these systems often an integral part of the trial process on many fishing boats.

Monitored on board

The sensors are monitored on the fishing boa. The information is displayed on a monitor screen in the wheelhouse and the skipper can make adjustments to the speed, the length of wire etc to adjust the trawl for optimum performance.

Fishing trawl sensors can be purchased or hired from many sources
