Most crews often operate without ever seeing how their gear behaves underwater.
For vessels operating in Newfoundland’s productive shrimp fishery, even small issues with grid angle, flow, or panel tension can reduce catch quality or increase bycatch.
To fix that, the crew of the 67-metre Newfoundland Lynx added a CatchCam trawl camera system to their recent fishing operations with Hampidjan Canada.
The footage above shows a typical tow: the net towing fast, slowing down, and the catch floating and settling. When towing resumes and the vessel picks up speed, you can clearly see shrimp flowing through the sorting grid.
From the video, the crew was able to spot issues with the grid. They could see:
How the shrimp sorting grid performed under different towing conditions
Whether the grid angle was right
If anything was blocking the grid, including bycatch.
Confirm that the grid remained clear when the net was hauled
Without video, these problems are almost impossible to detect from the deck. So the camera not only helped the crew tweak the setup, but it also gave them peace of mind that everything was working as it should.
