StarFish can help find the best fishing sites in lakes, rivers or the open ocean. Simply launch StarFish at the start of your recce and sit back and enjoy the near photo like sonar images.

Stay one step ahead of the angling community by marveling at the impressive results from our professional seabed imaging system. Using the latest digital CHIRP side scan sonar imaging technology, StarFish can help locate wrecks and rocky areas of seafloor reknown for fish habitat. StarFish Scanline software includes a full data logging and playback facility. Integrate StarFish with your own GPS receiver to give a positional fix for your new fishing site. This allows you to return to the site for further fishing expeditions... we'll let you decide if you want to give the coordinates to your angling buddies!

Lost any expensive fishing tackle overboard or trying to find your missing lobster creels? StarFish can quickly locate your equipment back from Davy Jones locker without the need to don your diving suit and flippers! StarFish can be quickly mobilised for any fishing trip without the need to dry dock the boat or trudge through a complicated installation procedure. Simply launch StarFish at the start of your recce and sit back and enjoy the near photo like sonar images. The system has been specifically designed as a towed array therefore the sonar images will not be distorted by wave or boat motion. Starfish is normally towed at a depth below propeller turbulence which helps to reduce the effect of surface noise and scatter dramatically improving the sonar images compared to fixed mounted systems.

StarFish can be used to quickly locate and recover missing lobster creels or expensive fishing tackle lost overboard.

StarFish can be used in commercial farming operations to monitor fish population, lobster and oyster reefs (as shown).

With its recording feature, StarFish is ideal for monitoring the location and habitat of marine life. Historical data can be compared to establish the migration patterns of the local fish population, the effects of local environmental changes and its impact on marine life. In commercial fish farming operations StarFish can help to build up a map of the farm site and record any changes as a result of shifts in tidal movement, local currents, and the impact of predators on the fishing cage.

Some of our most treasured marine life is found around coral reefs. With StarFish, surveys of this habitat can be carried out to establish the best fishing sites. It can also be used to monitor the health of the reef and the impact as a result of decay or disease.
