Working subsea with Ropeless Fishing requires the knowledge of acoustic sound propagation, the effects of temperature and salinity, acoustic triggering, and positioning using range and bearing. Understanding the physics and fundamentals will make using the technology viable to operators.

The Ropeless Fishing community is developing technology to set and retrieve traps without the use of vertical lines. The technology is new, novel, and still in the process of evaluation. It is recognized that there is a need for the training of users to advance testing and usage. It is our vision to promote Ropeless Fishing and develop a solution with commercial viability and involve the local community early in the development and adoption of ropeless.
