Vertical coverage areas

When the seine is normally located forward of the starboard

beam when pursing the following information should be taken

into consideration:

• The optimal tilt angle for dual

hydrophone installations is

derived in the same manner as a

for single hydrophone

installations. Consult the

section on Tilt angle for more

information.

• The hydrophones should be

tilted so that the most important

part of the seine is adequately

covered. Tilting the forward

hydrophone -25_ and the after

-15_ will pr ovide proper

coverage in most instances.

• Tilt should be no less than -15_ in most instances with the

optimal tilt angle depending on the size (length/depth) of the

seine in use.

• Heeling of the vessel after the seine is set must be taken into

consideration when calculating the tilt angle.
