SMART FISHING NET FOR COUNTING AND WEIGHING AQUATIC SPECIES

摘要

The present invention consists of a smart fishing net for counting and weighing aquatic species, wherein sinkers act as a counterweight of the net, thus allowing the net to quickly sink when being thrown to the water. The net comprises the use of a main handline for gripping and handling thereof, this handline comprising a weighing machine or scale for the weighing process, while an end line is provided at the periphery of the net delimiting it and being used as a holding or supporting means. By means of concentric inner circular ropes and radial inner ropes, the net is provided with rigidity and support; said net preferably consisting of a mesh fitted with movement sensors detecting pulses or pulsating movements generated by the species trapped in the net.
