How to Measure the Speed of a School of Fish
To ensure a good haul, it is important to estimate the direction and speed of the school
of fish before shooting the net. You can do this with the
FISH
key. With tidal current
data and fish speed data, you can determine the timing of the net shooting more effi-
ciently. This function requires speed and heading data.

How to measure the speed of a school of fish
1.
Place the cursor on the center of a school of fish then press the
FISH
key or push
the left-click button. The latest fish mark (
) appears on the school of fish.
2.
Wait until the target fish moves a reasonable distance from the latest fish mark.
3.
Place the cursor on the same school of fish selected in step 1 then press the
FISH
key.
The latest fish mark appears on the target, the 2nd latest fish mark (
) appears
on the location selected at step 1 and any earlier fish marks are shown with an X.
The distance between the two fish marks and speed, course, and bearing of the
school of fish appear at the bottom right-hand corner of the horizontal display ar-
ea.
Note 1:
The time and distance between each press of the
FISH
key should be as
long as possible to increase accuracy of measurement. For best results, repeat
the procedure two or three times.
Note 2:
Each time the
FISH
key is pressed the latest fish mark and ship's speed
mark change in the sequence shown below. A maximum of 20 fish marks can be
entered. When you enter more than 20, the earliest fish mark is erased.
