Descripción
The data available on catch weights, fishing efforts, species compositions and fish price were used to show the short term effect from the installation of an echo-sounder and fishing reels to the schooner "Chantal". It was shown, during the eight high season months, that this equipment in combination increased "Chantal's" fishing power by 25 to 30 percent and the value of its catch by about 40 percent. It was not possible to demonstrate any benefit from the installation of the echo-sounder alone
