Observations made through several decades show that the efficiency in modern trawl fishing is strongly affected by weather, wind and currents. In addition the seabed conditions and temperature are of great significance, as does different species’ distinctive movement patterns.
Scanmar’s business idea has always been to develop products that can help the fishermen be able to make adjustments of the equipment and fishing technique to be able to quickly adapt to changes in the conditions.
Scanmar’s Catch systems have been developed through 30 years to give the fishermen exact and reliable information that can contribute to more efficient fishing as well as economic profit as a result of reduction in damage and wear of the equipment.
Scanmar’s Catch systems are based on Scanmar’s experience and proven technology, and are characterized by:
- Advanced acoustic transmission technology
- The most modern bridge systems based on unique signal processing technology
- Graphic presentation
- Complete range of robust and reliable sensors where the electronics are protected in especially developed plastic material.
- With the exception of ScanMate 2/4 all bridge systems can be upgraded to handle all sensors, and will be upgraded with new sensors when needed.
