(Prior art and its problems) In trawl fishing, the underwater conditions including trawl nets are constantly monitored by the following methods to improve the efficiency of catching by changing the position of the towing nets or damage to the trawl nets. It is being carried out to prevent such problems.
That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the net mouth (1a) of the trawl net (1)
A transducer (2) for upward detection and a transducer (3) for downward detection are provided near, for example, in the upper part to sequentially emit ultrasonic waves, and the received signals are transmitted to the trawlnet side. Recorder on the side of the ship (5) that transmits an ultrasonic signal between the wave transmitter (4) for transmission and the wave receiver (6) for information transmission provided at the bottom of the ship (5) tow the trawl net (1). As shown in Fig. 2, the sea surface S, the seabed B, the Hettrop HR, which is towed by the boat via the Ottaboat (7), the image of the Grant Rope GR, and the fish school image.
F 1 and F 2 The image of fish that has entered the net, such as F 3 and F 4 , is recorded, and the condition of the fish passing through the upper part of the trawl net, the distance to the sea surface, the height of the net mouth, the net fish and the seabed are recorded. By knowing the bottom clearance distance from the ship, effective towing of the trawl net and prevention of catching on the seabed reef of the trawl net are being carried out.

との要望が強くなっている。
Recently, however, middle-class trawls are becoming the mainstream in place of conventional bottom trawls, and the trawl nets used with these trawl nets have significantly larger net openings than seabed trawls, so they are towed underwater. In many cases, the net becomes unstable and the net width becomes narrow, resulting in a decrease in fishing efficiency. For this reason, as the number of mid-layer trawls increases, there is a strong demand to constantly monitor the width of the net mouth so as to achieve the maximum efficiency of the towing net.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention meets the above-mentioned demand by enabling not only the conventional detection in the vertical direction but also the width of the mesh opening to be known at the same time.

(Means of the Present Invention for Solving Problems) The features of the present invention are as follows. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) showing a front view and a top view of the mesh openings, at the center point A of the upper side of the square mesh openings (1a) of the trawl net, the respective directional axes M 1 , M 2 is a left side middle point B of the net mouth at the maximum width (1a), to match the right-hand side the center point C, lower left direction finding for transducer (8), lower right detector for transducer (9) is provided, and ultrasonic waves S A and S B are emitted at a time interval as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in Fig. 4, reflected waves from the left and right ends of the mesh opening (1a)
By receiving R A and R B , the time from transmission to reception t
1 and t 2 are measured, and the distances W L and W R between the center point D of the net mouth (1a) and the left and right center points B and C at the maximum width are obtained from this as shown in FIG. 3 (a). It was done.

That is, in the above example, since the mesh opening is square, the angle θ formed by the transducers (8) and (9) is 90 degrees. Therefore the distance
W L and W R are given by the following equation when the propagation velocity of sound waves in the sea is constant. And the net width W N can be calculated from the sum W L + W R.

Therefore, for example, the transmission signal and the reception signal of each of the transmitters / receivers (8) and (9) are transmitted to the ship side by the transmitter and receiver for transmission, and W L and W R are obtained and displayed. Then, it can be seen that when W L = W R , it is the best towed state in which the mesh openings are spread out in a well-balanced manner as shown in FIG. 5 (a). Further, when W L ≠ W R , for example, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), it is shown that the net mouth becomes narrow due to the unbalanced hauling net, so that the display becomes W L = W R. One of two tow ropes
By changing the length of the book and adjusting the direction of the towing net, the trawl net can always be towed in the best condition, and can meet the demand of the previous term.

For example, in the case of wide directivity of the transducer in the diagonal downward direction, instead of measuring points B and C as shown in FIG. 6 (a), B ',
Since the C'point is measured, the correct value cannot be obtained. In contrast directivity front and rear Z 1, of the net mouth when it is drawn unbalanced as in (FIG. 6 (b) paper and perpendicular to the direction of) the too sharp FIG. 5 (b) Z 2 points cannot be detected and Z 3 points cannot be detected. Therefore, the directivity of the wave transmitter / receiver is preferably diagonal direction <front-back direction.
