FISH EXPO When A Sahlman Seafoods Boat Leaves the Docks, It Is Only Outfitted With The Best Marine Equipment To Ensure Peak Operational Efficiency & Safety. LtiRlO JABSCO WYNNE ENTERPRISES, INC. RITCHIE NAVIGATION Fisheye Underwater Cameras Fisheye's underwater cameras provide black and white video from 60-ft. of cable for easy operation by simply dropping the unit over the side of the boat. Divers are no longer needed to view the under water world. The camera is fully functional at up to 12 knots and is ideal for ice fishing, downrigger fishing, drifting, bottom fishing and high speed trolling. The units run on 12V DC batteries and can be ordered in color, or black and white with lights with 60, 100, 150 or 200 ft. of cable. Underwater Viewing System Nature Vision has introduced the Aqua-Vu II underwater video viewing system. Easy-to-use, the Aqua-Vu II system incorporates a waterproof, 4-in CRT monitor, a 12-volt battery, an integral cable wrapping system and a built-in sun shield viewing chamber. A 9 x 13 in. footprint is all the entire sys- tem occupies in a boat or fish house. The tiny 1.5 in. diameter camera of Aqua-Vu II comes stan- dard with 50 ft. of custom under- water video cable (just over 1/8 in. diameter). Aqua-Vu II has been tested down to 350 ft., and is salt water rated. Reusable Temperature Probe for Tuna Fishing Wesmar has introduced the reusable temperature probe (RTP), which senses changes in tempera- ture, aiding fishermen searching for tuna schools.Additionally, it connects directly to the Wesmar HD800 focused beam sonar sys- tem. The RTP system consists of a temperature sensitive resistive element encased in an elliptically formed stainless steel sphere, which is attached to a chrome- plated, corrosion resistant, BNC connector. This then connects to a polyurethane jacketed RG-59U cable, which plugs into the sonar console where an additional circuit board has been added. Fish Block Liners From Fort James Fort James Corp. has intro- duced a new fish block liner. LinerPro liners are designed for commercial frozen fillet and minced fish operations. The liners draw out and dissipate air and moisture from fish so it can be frozen into a consistent geometric block. LinerPro cartons are folded and inserted into a freezer frame. Once the fish is placed in the car- ton and secured, it is transported to a freezing compartment, where pressure is applied. The blocks are then frozen to maximize freshness.
