Abstract

The structure for the formation of fishing benches is constituted by a series of pvc pipes and fittings, it is rectangular. The accessories for its construction are 110mm in diameter except the central part that is 200mm in diameter, this structure has tied net cloths that hang about 2.5 meters. In the net cloths the plankton adheres and begins a food chain of mollusks and fish that are attracted by the tunas thus forming fishing benches that remain around the structure while there is food. The structure navigates freely locatable by means of an electronic transceiver system that uses the Inmarsat satellite network. This transceiver transmits fundamental information to the ship such as: position, battery, speed and heading, it is received on board by means of a receiver and displayed on a computer. .

Description

Structure for the formation of banks of fishing.

Technical sector

The present invention falls within the sector fishery dedicated more specifically to tuna fishing creating controlled and localizable fishing benches from the own fishing ship.

State of the art

It is a fishing technique creating banks controlled and localizable fishing boats that freely navigate seas and oceans in which tunas abound.

This structure is sewn or tied with cloths of saline net that hang vertically from it, with this get the tunas to concentrate around creating fishing banks because the salt nets adhere the plankton starting a food chain with mollusks and fish from different sizes and varieties that attract tunas remaining there while the food chain exists. This is The interest of companies engaged in fishing for tunas once concentrated the fish in these structures proceed to the captures through the fence art method.

The structure for the formation of banks of fishing is controlled and localizable at all times through a electronic transceiver system using the satellite network Inmarsat that provides the fishing vessel with information fundamental as: structure position, heading, speed and battery status This information is received on the ship fishing via a receiver of the Inmarsat satellite network This information is displayed on a computer screen.

Detailed description of the invention

Today there are some technology systems varied used for the location of fishing such as buoys and radio buoys, its transmission is done with wave signals cut through an antenna of approximately 2.5 meters that emits in all directions reaching the vessel's receiver and are easily located by any fishing vessel through a goniometer receiver, scanner or other similar device and also easily reachable by radar due to the wave system that emit that affect the antennas indicating it on the screen of the radar locating its position.

These buoys and radio buoys are associated with some type of object drifting in the sea such as a log, some rods, etc. and form two parts which leads to easy location and subtraction of fish concentrated around from the buoy and on many occasions to the theft of the buoy itself or radio buoy.

The objective of the present invention relates to as its title indicates a structure for the formation of banks fishing, is completely autonomous and forms a single piece that navigates drifting freely across the seas and oceans, in a controlled manner and reachable at all times by the fishing vessel itself, thanks to the integration of a global monitoring system of data communication through the Inmarsat satellite network.

This structure is tied with net cloths black salt pans that hang suspended about 2.5 meters submerged under the sea, after a period of time between 3 and 5 months in the network cloths adheres the plankton and a food chain is created with mollusks and small assorted fish that serve as food for other larger fish such as tunas, which comes to concentrate a large amount of tunas around it, thus forming a fishing bench that It maintains as long as that food chain exists.

The structure for the formation of banks of Fishing is done with pipes and fittings of commercial type and measures Standard in 3.2mm thick PVC material, the air there is inside it keeps it afloat supporting the weight of Cloths The pvc material used is gray motivated to that in the sea the gray color is less visible than many others colors, so that they are not visible or reachable by ships other people's The union or assembly of pipes and fittings that form the structure is made with special materials for pvc getting a perfect and solid union between its parts forming thus a compact structure, resistant, hermetic and with a great buoyancy supporting weather conditions, given its tightness, allows the installation of a communication equipment  data and position via satellite.

The structure for the formation of banks of fishing measures 1800 mm long and 1100 mm long wide, rectangular.

The communication is done through a GPS satellite transceiver whose function is to receive the position of the structure in the sea and send it to the fishing vessel that is continuously in communication with the Inmarsat satellite network. Its operation is controlled by a CPU electronic card, a second electronic card allows connection and disconnection of the start-up by a four-digit numerical code, could not be deactivated by people outside the structure, and allows recharging the batteries from the outside and perform a battery voltage test. The electronic part of the cards is integrated in the part center of the structure placing the transceiver in the most high for good communication, all the electronic part is Powered by two 24 volt rechargeable batteries.

This structure is impossible to detect with goniometer, scanner or radar devices because there are no parts metallic or external antennas and the emission reception of the information is done vertically between this and the satellite and from the satellite to the fishing vessel the information that reaches the vessel they are: structure position, heading, speed and voltage of the batteries, all these data arrive on board the encoded fishing vessel digitally, they are picked up by a receiver that is continuously in communication with the satellite, the information is decoded by the on-board computer and presented in the screen for control and monitoring of the structure at sea, which allows you to set course and navigate towards it to perform the Fishing using the art of fence.

To facilitate the understanding of characteristics of this structure and forming part integral of this descriptive report, some sheets of planes whose figures are illustrative and not limiting has represented the following:
