Simrad PX miniDepth

Use the Simrad PX miniDepth to continuously monitor the depth of your gear during purse seine operations. The data provided by the sensor is vital for tracking the net’s performance and sink rate as it descends toward its target depth. The information helps reduce the risk of fish escaping and increases the chances of a successful catch.

 For trawl fishing, deploy the PX miniDepth sensor to monitor the depth of the trawl precisely.

 In addition to depth measurements, the PX miniDepth also measures the water temperature. This combination of data is beneficial, as fish are susceptible to temperature changes that affect their movement and metabolism. Many species prefer specific temperature ranges, so monitoring these conditions can significantly improve your ability to locate fish schools.

This sensor is a part of the Simrad PX System.

To receive information from this gear monitoring sensor, you need a suitable receiver (PI or SR Series), one or more hydrophones, and a computer running the Simrad TV80 or Simrad PI50 programs.

This Simrad PX System is compatible with all our PI Hydrophones. However, it can also use non-Simrad hydrophones, provided the communication frequency matches.
