Definitions

  • the invention relates to a seine or line device arranged for submersion into a mass of water, at least parts of the seine or line being formed of a material exhibiting improved sig- nal-reflecting properties or being provided with elements exhibiting improved signal-reflecting properties.
  • seine is meant, in what follows, a material which is formed of seine twine, the seine twines being knotted together to form meshes of a mesh width suitable for the pur- pose. Different types of seine twine can be used in the production of one and the same seine.
  • cages In connection with the fish farming in oceans and lakes, cages are used, in which the walls and bottom are constituted substantially by a bag formed of seine hanging from a float- ing device at the surface. This floating device itself is anchored to the floor by solid chains and anchors.
  • the seine bag can be connected by lines and/or chains to, for example, a bottom hoop which is also suspended from the surface, but which is positioned below the lower edge of the seine bag.
  • the bottom hoop is attached at points to the seine bag with the purpose of bracing the seine bag to limit deformation upon external influence on the bag.
  • the equipment which can monitor the shape of the seine bag in its entire extent will be of great interest.
  • the equipment could be used for several things :
  • a common way of detecting objects under water is to use different forms of sonar/echo sounders.
  • known equipment will, to a certain degree, detect signal reflection (echo) from the seine wall and moorings, but owing to the fact that material used in prior art seine walls does not provide sufficient reflections, it will not be possible to provide satisfactory and reliable observations of the shape of the seine bag.
  • the invention has for its object to remedy or to reduce at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an artificial contrast in the seine so as to enable a reliable detection of the shape of the seine bag by the use of sonar/echo sounding techniques known per se. This may be done by the use of: • spots of high-contrast material which is integrated into or attached to the seine, for example in different patterns in different portions of the seine bag, for example varying across the depth of the seine bag, so that the different portions of the seine bag are identifiable;
  • a detecting unit could be used, for example an echo sounder, which is positioned near the seine bag, for continuously measuring the deformation.
  • the detecting unit must receive a sufficient amount of information to be able to form a 3D image of a selected portion of the cage. Therefore, it is not enough to have a single sensor, and the detecting unit must, therefore, include several sensors. These may be mounted in the same unit or function in a network of sensors in which the gather- ing of information is coordinated.
  • the information may be presented, for example, on a computer screen in a 3D presentation, so that it is easy to see an un- desired deformation. It is also conceivable to carry out current video image analysis with a computer, so that an alarm can be given if the actual shape of the seine bag differs substantially from the desired shape.
  • the invention is not limited to a seine bag for a cage for the fish farming, but also includes a seine for other applications in which net-like or seine-like devices are placed submerged in a mass of water for catching fish etc., holding caught live fish etc., closing off an area, and similar things, in which there is a need to detect the position of the device in the mass of water.
  • the invention also relates to a line to be used submerged in a mass of water, the line having properties as described above.
  • the invention relates more specifically to a seine device to be used submerged in a mass of water, a plurality of seine meshes being formed by one or more thread- shaped materials being joined together, characterized by the seine including one or more signal reflection means which are localized to at least one seine portion and are arranged for the reflection of an acoustic signal emitted from a sound source .
  • the signal-reflecting properties of a first seine portion are preferably different from the signal-reflecting properties of a second seine portion.
  • the signal reflection means are preferably taken from the group consisting of reflector elements attached to one or more seine meshes, a wire spun into the mesh-forming seine twine, twine coating on mesh- forming seine twine and impreg- nating fluid for mesh-forming seine twine.
  • the reflector element is preferably formed of a solid, particularly a metal, or a combination of several solids, with a resulting specific weight of at least 1.1 g/cm 3 .
  • the signal reflection means of the first seine portion are advantageously arranged in a pattern which is different from the pattern of the second seine portion.
  • the invention relates more specifically to a line to be used submerged in a mass of water, characterized by at least part of the line exhibiting signal-reflecting properties which are different from the signal-reflecting properties of other parts of the line.
  • the signal -reflecting properties are preferably provided by wire which is twisted into the line, or a coating and/or impregnating fluid applied to at least some of the strands of the line.
  • the invention in a third aspect relates to a system for detecting a seine or a line as described above, submerged in a mass of water, characterized by the system comprising an acoustic transmitter which is arranged to provide, in a controlled manner, acoustic signals in the mass of water; at least one signal receiver which arranged to receive acoustic signals reflected from the seine or line, is located in the mass of water near the seine or line; a signal-processing unit which is connected, in a sig- nal-communicating manner, with the at least one signal receiver and is arranged to process the signals reflected from the seine or line; and a display screen which is arranged for the visualization of the reflected, processed acoustic signals.
  • the signal-processing unit is preferably arranged to compare the actual position of the seine or line, generated from the reflected, processed acoustic signals, to the normal position of the seine or line and, when a predetermined deviation from the normal position is exceeded, to be able to generate an alarm.
