Simrad unveils new trawl tech – Simrad PX TrawlEye and Simrad TV80 software platform

October 20, 2015 International News

Launched at Danfish this October, the new Simrad PX TrawlEye and Simrad TV80 software platform are designed to deliver a clear, detailed picture of the net and condition of either a bottom or pelagic trawl. Through the unique use of a composite echo sounder transducer enabling advanced Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM), also called CHIRP, the PX TrawlEye provides a crisp and detailed presentation of catch entering the trawl, the status of the gear, as well as the bottom conditions.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
