Measuring Fish School Speed

To ensure a good haul, it is important to estimate the direction and speed of the fish school before shooting the net. You can do this with the FISH key. If the tidal current data is used together with fish speed data, you can determine the timing of the net shooting more efficiently. This function requires speed and head- ing inputs.

1.Place the trackball mark on the center of a fish school, and

then press the FISH key. The latest fish mark () appears on the fish school.

2.Wait 1 to 2 minutes.

3.Place the trackball mark on the same fish school selected in

step 1 and press the FISH key. The latest fish mark () ap- pears on the target and the 2nd latest fish mark () appears on the location selected at step 1. At the bottom left corner of the screen, the distance between the two fish marks, and fish school course and speed appear.

4.If you want to delete fish marks and fish speed marks, open data setting window, select DELETE MK and then press the FISH key.

Figure 7-9 How to measure fish speed

Note 1: Movement is calculated using ship’s speed and bearing inputs. Accordingly, pitching and rolling may affect the calcula- tion. For better results, try the procedure two or three times to verify reliability.

Note 2: The time and distance between pressings of the FISH key should be as long as possible to increase accuracy of mea- surement. For more accurate measurement repeat the procedure two or three times.
