SeapiX – Operation Manual
SSD-C-1302 Ed. A – 01/2020 15
1.2 SeapiX Principle
SeapiX is a volumetric multibeam echosounder which can operate:
• downward-looking,
• forward-looking,
• side-looking.
Each multibeam swath is proposed along and across the vessel track (is either “axial” or
“transverse”). Swaths are tiltable to control the biomass all around the vessel. For each
swath, 3 echogram sectors are formed from 1° to 120° beam aperture.
On board a fishery vessel, the skipper watches the shoal behavior and steers the vessel to
perform catches.
Warning: SeapiX is NOT a navigation tool. SeapiX is a fishing tool and it must be
used as such.
