a) Fuel savings.

b) Catch systems optimization.

c) Sustainable fishing.
Due to high and increasing costs of fisheries, there is a tendency to look for technology solutions which improve the efficiency of the trawling system. Rationalizing fuel costs helps improve fisheries´ profitability and rationalize exploitation of biomass.

Twenty-five percent of the world is in the sea. Trawl fishing is one of the most widely used techniques to extract resources from there.

Sea species are endangered. Consequently, the industry undergoes a profitability decrease due to loss of biomass and an increase of inputs.

Improper use of fishing nets causes poor selection regarding size and types of species caught. For this reason, it is necessary to apply intelligent techniques which contribute to the balance of the sea world and energy savings.

Depredation and high fuel use can be thwarted by applying new computer systems which help minimize correction risks at sea and optimize the usage of fishing gear.

In the traditional fishing technique, corrective actions are difficult to anticipate and are taken at sea, which causes inefficiencies in the use of resources: loss of time and fuel, etc.
