The water temperature is an important parameter. Fish and bait
are temperature sensitive, and they are normally found within
specific temperature zones for feeding and spawning.
However, the temperature layers in the water are changing
constantly, and for this reason the temperature must be
monitored constantly. Fishing in an area with unfavourable
water temperature might be just a waste of time!
For any kind of trawling, use this sensor to monitoring and log
the temperature. Then, increase your knowledge about the
correlation between temperature, fish concentration and catch
efficiency. On a purse seine net, monitor the temperature to see
when you are passing the thermo-cline.
