SeapiX Principle
SeapiX is a volumetric multibeam echosounder which can operate:
•
downward-looking,
•
forward-looking,
•
side-looking.
Each multibeam swath is proposed along and across the vessel track (is either “axial” or
“transverse”). Swaths are tiltable to control the biomass all around the vessel. For each
swath, 3 echogram sectors are formed from 1° to 120° beam aperture.
On board a fishery vessel, the skipper watches the shoal behavior and steers the vessel to
perform catches.
Warning:
SeapiX is NOT a navigation tool
.
SeapiX is a fishing tool
and it must be
used as such.
