eSonar Inc, a company based in St. John’s Newfoundland, Canada, has been developing sonar equipment for a diverse market. eSonar was formed early in 2009 as an underwater sonar service, development and manufacturing company specialising in high technology products for international marine markets.

eSonar is developing a technology for underwater sonar applications which will initially target the fishery and research markets with a plan to move into other connected industries such as defense and oil and gas. The company has just completed the development of a new line of trawl monitoring equipment for the commercial fisheries. These systems are also compatible with the Netmind Trawl Monitoring system and eSonar says the main advantages of the systems are:

• Up to three week battery life for the basic sensor

• Field programmable

• Fully compatible with Netmind Trawl Monitoring System

• Local serviceability

Multi-function sensors
