Trap Recovery System


Fishing gear is expensive. Spare the need to replace lost gear by having a reserve buoy on your trap that deploys if it is lost.

RESQUNIT

Electronic Time Release
Trap Recovery System
The unit will release the buoy after a specified amount of hours or days in the sea. Its line can be used as a guide making it possible to haul heavier gear using a carabiner, a thicker line and a grapple.

High predictability provided by an electronic release mechanism increases the chance for locating the buoy and recover the trap.

The timer is easily set using our mobile app.

Why use RESQUNIT?
Resqunit provides a way of mitigating the loss of fishing gear, thereby avoiding economic loss as well as reducing ghost fishing which negatively affects biomass and future income.

Resqunit is maintenance free and is designed to be self-operated. After installation no user interactions are required.
