The cost of the catch The cost of the catch
The average Sonar is not cheap.It’s money wellspent of course,and money recouped in a short space of time thanks to the catch improving qualities of such high-tech instruments.In the early days of Sonar though,it was simply impossible for the everyday fisherman to be able to afford this new technology.Simrad recognised this problem,and during thefifties,worked hard at lowering the cost.Come the end of the decade,Simrad had succeeded. The need for a fully functioning,affordable Sonar was fulfilled and a new era for commercial fishing the world over was ushered in.
