Introduction and Presentation
Read this section to get a basic knowledge of your Seine sensor.
Tip: Click Marport logo at the bottom of pages to come back to the table of contents.
Introduction
The Seine sensor is mounted on the lead line of a purse seine in a robust protective steel framed
housing. It relays data back to the wheelhouse from the moment the purse seine is shot away and
during the fishing operation. It has an omnidirectional uplink signal, which ensures that there is no
loss of signal during the fishing operation.
There are different Seine sensors:
• Seine sensor with depth.
• Seine sensor with depth and temperature
• Seine sensor with depth, height and temperature.
• Seine Explorer with temperature, depth, height, battery and echogram.
During the shot, depending on your type of Seine sensor, you can see the depth of water above the
lead line, the distance from the lead line to the seabed (height) and an echogram of the area below
the lead line. On most recent models, there is also an echogram of the contents of the purse seine
during its descent. Measuring the depth at rapid time intervals provides the user with an accurate
descent rate of the lead line.
When purse seining in shallow water, Marport's Seine sensors are an essential tool to ensure the
gear is kept at a safe distance from the seabed. This way, you can avoid damage to the gear.
Seine sensors with depth only or with depth, height and temperature can send depth and
temperature data to a Scanmar system. There is also a version of Seine sensors with depth and
temperature that is compatible with Simrad PI systems.
Note:
These labels tag topics or actions that are specific to Scala and/or Scala2.
Depending on the version you have, you may follow either one of these labels.
