Automated Data Collection

The On-Deck Data System is a monitoring system intended for the automated collection of mid-water and bottom data by commercial fishermen. The wireless data loggers are attached to fishing gear (typically traps, nets or long-lines) and data is transferred from the loggers to the Deck Data Hub when the fishing gear is on deck. The DOT data logger records dissolved oxygen and temperature while the TDO data logger records Temperature, Water Depth and Orientation. The data is stored on the Deck Data Hub and graphs can be viewed on the 7-inch touch screen display. The data is also sent to Amazon’s AWS servers for additional analysis.

Dissolved Oxygen & Temperature Logger

The Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature (DOT) logger is a wireless data logger that is coupled with In-Situ’s RDO® Pro-X Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe.

The DOT logger is ideal for season long dissolved oxygen and temperature monitoring studies by citizen
scientists, commercial fishermen and other vessels of opportunity. A typical use case is to attach the DOT
logger to fishing gear such as a lobster or crab trap.

  • Accurate to 0.1C & 0.3 mg/L
  • Rated to 100 meters depth
  • 9-month battery life, user replaceable
  • Non-volatile memory stores over a season’s worth of data

Temperature, Depth & Orientation Profiling Logger

The Temperature, Depth & Orientation (TDO) Logger is a wireless data logger that contains an integrated temperature sensor, pressure sensor and 3-axis accelerometer. The small, rugged design allow the logger to be easily deployed on a variety of fishing gear.

The TDO features a fast response time and the ability to dynamically change the recording interval as gear is fished. The logger will record faster while equipment is being hauled to capture the profile of the water column and slower while the gear soaks. The on-board 3-axis accelerometer will capture the gear’s orientation to help determine if the gear was properly deployed.

Deck Data Hub

The Deck Data Hub is mounted on each participating vessel to gather data when the wireless data loggers are on board. The Deck Data Hub will automatically display the data on the touch screen display and transmit the data to Amazon's AWS where it can be further processed and/or viewed by research scientists, fishermen and other third parties via Lowell Instruments’ API.

  • Weatherproof Rugged Enclosure
  • 7-inch Touch Screen Display
  • On-Board GPS
  • Wireless – Cellular
  • Displays graphs
  • Open-Source Code

Data Anywhere & Analysis

Data from the Deck Data Hub is transmitted to Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud-based servers via Cellular transmission when in range.

Once the data is collected it can be downloaded from the cloud and reviewed by researchers, fishermen and any interested parties.
