Introduction

I. Introduction

A. Purpose of the Catch book Module

The aim of the Catch book module is to explain how to use and manage the catches of a
vessel in the Catsat application V4.1.

The Catch book module is a fishing logbook which can save information of fishing
campaigns and hauls (quantity, fish composition, location, saving of the external
conditions…)

It allows to store catches on database by species, natural environment or to add

comments. Moreover, you have the possibility to make requests according to the type of
catches and the natural environment, but also by annual period.

 CATSAT CATCHBOOK MODULE
Introduction

B. Notion of campaign and haul

A campaign can be defined as a period of time when the vessel goes for fishing. The
vessel is headed by one captain. A campaign is composed of hauls (or catches). During
this campaign, you can make as many hauls as you wish.

A haul is a catch of fishes or set of your engine gear (in case of no catch). A haul is
composed by many characteristics. In the Catsat software, you can inform the aspect of
the sea, the wind force and direction, the stream force and direction, the weather, the
aspect of the moon, colour and temperature of the sea…

C. Campaign is also a notion used for other modules

The campaign can be used also as a period of time that will be used in navigation and
mobile module for displaying other objects (marks, tracks…). Refer to these modules for
more details.

D. How to check if the Catch book module is activated on

your Catsat system

To check if the Catch book module is installed on your Catsat system, check that the
following functions are present in the menu bar:

- Campaign in the Library menu

- New haul in the library menu

If these menus are present in the Library menu and is not grey (that means that it is
active), it means that the Catch book Module is activated on your Catsat.

II. Campaign

A. How to start a new campaign

A campaign defines the period of time when you go for fishing. But before creating a new
haul you must first start a campaign.

To create a campaign, select Campaign in

the Library menu bar.

June 2010 rev 1.0 7

©CLS-THALOS REPRODUCTION STRICTLY PROHIBITED
 CATSAT CATCHBOOK MODULE
Campaign

When you use the option for the first time,

a new window appears where all boxes are
grey and where you can not enter any
information.

To start a new campaign, just click on the

New campaign button

The boxes that were in grey now become

white and you are able to enter data.

Enter the name of the campaign, the

name of the current captain, the name of
the ship and the beginning date of the
campaign.

As long as there is no haul catches created

during this campaign, the result box
remains grey.

Campaign: This is the name of the campaign. By default, Catsat proposes a name of the
campaign with the name of your vessel and the date. However, you can change it and fill
the box with the campaign name of your choice.

Captain: Enter the name of the captain of the vessel who will run the campaign. You can
enter either the complete name or either the initials of the captain.

June 2010 rev 1.0 8

 CATSAT CATCHBOOK MODULE
Campaign

Ship: This is the name of the vessel.

Beginning: enter the beginning date of the campaign. By default, Catsat put the current
date, which is also the date of your computer.

Results: This box will be empty when you first create the campaign, as you did not have
made any haul. The results will be displayed when you will have created hauls, and when
you will close the campaign. Once the campaign is started, the results in the window
campaign will be added and the box will display the total volume of the capture.

B. How to create new catches (hauls)

Now that you have created a new campaign you can create as many hauls as you wish.
These hauls will be incorporated in the current campaign, which you have just created.

Each time that you create a new haul, a pie chart appears on the main screen showing
the quantities caught by species. If you have caught fishes from the same specie, you
will have a pie-chart with just one color.

A number under the pie-chart indicates the total number of tons fished. Please note that
this number can not be hidden from the screen.

C. How to modify a catch

1) Using the mouse right-click

The parameters you enter in the haul window at the beginning are not frozen. You have
the possibility to come back and rectify all the data at any moment.

PROPERTIES: If you click on Properties, you will go back to the menu where you have
entered the aspect of the haul (Refer to point B-2 of the above part). You have thus the
possibility to modify some characteristics of the hauls such as aspect, behavior, size of
the shoal… that you have already filled in the precedent step for settling the haul.

SHIFT: The shift option allows to move the pie chart on the map. You can modify the
geographical location of the haul by changing the Latitude-Longitude coordinates, or by
entering a bearing-range shift.

If you click on Hide you can hide the pie chart from the map. The data will not be
deleted. To make it appear again, you must go to the List of user objects. (Refer to point
III-D for more explanation)

By clicking on Delete you can delete the pie chart from the map. All the data entered in
the haul will be deleted, and the pie-chart will disappear.

The option Send allows you to send all the details concerning the haul to a external
source, by email.

- From the List of user objects

The other way to delete a haul is from the List of user objects. You must first open the
list by choosing List of user objects by selecting it in the Library menu.

However, when you delete an object in the List of user objects, this object is not deleted
straight away. The deleted objects are stocked into the deleted objects folder. Thus, you
have the possibility to get back the haul if you have deleted it by mistake.

Select the requested haul to be

deleted in the folders and make a
right click.

Select Delete to cancel the haul.

How to display / hide a campaign

III. How to display / hide a campaign

A. List of user objects presentation

Every created haul will be saved into the List of user objects. As a matter of fact, the
haul can be considered as an object that you can modify, cancel, display/hide using
various filters or create filters.

User objects are elements inserted by the user on the main map (marks, events, routes,
tracks…). On the contrary of the mobiles they are fixed on screen. They are used to
indicate a danger on the map or a remarkable object. When you insert an object, it is
directly saved on a database.

By default, a database called “user database” is created when the Catsat is installed. This
database is a .gdb file. All the created user objects will be added into this database.
However, you have the possibility to create as many databases as you wish. You can add
a database and modify the current database.

To access to the List of user objects,

select List of user objects on the
Library menu.

The following window appears:

The List of user objects is composed of several folders:

● Folder: This is a virtual directory composed of all objects you have created in Catsat,
as well campaigns as hauls, routes, marks, tracks… They are classified by campaigns or
by vessels if there are several ships.

● Mark: This folder lists all the marks that you have created in the Catsat software. The
number indicated in brackets represents the number of marks created. For more
information about marks; refer to the Navigation module. When no mark exists, the
folder does not exist anymore.

● Hauls: This folder is very important as it lists all the hauls created. When you click on
the folder, the list of campaigns will appear on the right window: click on the requested

June 2010 rev 1.0 18

campaign to have all the list of hauls. After that, select one haul: the detail of this haul
will be displayed in the information window of the screen.

● Routes: The folder “routes” indicates the routes that have been created for each
vessel. For more explanation refer to the navigation module.

● Analysis: This folder gathers the analyses of the oceanographic module (Refer to
Oceanographic module for more explanations). They are classified by dates and type.

● Deleted objects: This option allows to restore the deleted objects. When you delete a
route, a mark or a haul, the object is not cancelled from Catsat. It is placed into the
Deleted objects. In this way, you can restore them. It is a very useful functionality in
case where you delete a folder by mistake. The Purge button will delete the objects
definitively. You can restore the data in the initial folder by clicking on Restore.

B. Current folder of the List of user objects

1) What is a folder?

A folder is a file containing a list of other files. In the Catsat software, you have several
folders classified by type, containing a list of objects.

In the Catsat software you can create as many folders as you wish for hauls, and move
the objects from a folder to another.

2) What is the current folder?

The current folder is the folder where all new created objects will be stored by default.

3) How to create a folder?

You can create a folder by two different ways.

4) How to delete a folder

You have the possibility to delete a folder by two different ways, as several functionalities
in Catsat.

To delete a folder, first open the List of

User objects in the Library menu.

When the List of user objects opens,

make a right click on the folder you want
to delete and select Delete.

An information window informs you that

the folder will be emptied but not delete.
Thus, the folder stays in the folder list.

5) How to restore deleted objects in the folder

However, note that the content of the deleted folder can be restored. Folders and objects
are not immediately canceled from the system, it exists a security if you delete them by
mistake.

To restore all the deleted objects, make a

right click on the dustbin named deleted
objects and click on Restore.

However, if you want to restore only some

specific objects, select this object in the
right column and click on restore.

The Purge button above the Restore option allow you to delete definitively all the deleted
objects from the dustbin. All the objects will be definitively deleted and canceled from the
database and will not be recovered at all.

IV. Advanced display functions by filters

A. Display / Hide menus

There is a display and a hide menu into the Library menu. These two functions are
different from the Display and Hide functions existing in the List of Users Objects.

Effectively, these two menus can hide or display all the objects from the map.

From these menus you can also make filters (Refer to point below).

To display all the objects on the map,

select Display in the Library menu and
then All.

To hide all the objects on the map, select

Hide in the Library menu and then All.

B. Search hauls by filters

Catsat allows to define filters for user objects. So it is possible to group in one filter
several types of parameters. In this way you can display objects with the same
characteristics.

1. Before making the filter

STEP 1: Display filter window

The Catsat software Catch book module gives you the possibility to make searches by
filters. You can filter all the objects on the List of Users Objects: marks, hauls, areas,
tracks, routes, analysis… or elaborate a filter for all the objects at the same time.

You have two possibilities of displaying the filters window:

From the menu Display in the Library

menu.

June 2010 rev 1.0 27

©CLS-THALOS REPRODUCTION STRICTLY PROHIBITED
 CATSAT CATCHBOOK MODULE

Or either from the Hide menu on the

Library menu.

The Following window

appears:

 CATSAT CATCHBOOK MODULE
Advanced display functions by filters

STEP 2:

Before making the filter you must

choose the type of data you wish
to filter.

In the box Type, select Hauls

STEP 3:

Before beginning to make filters, it would be easier to hide all objects from the map.
Thus, when you will make the filters, the information will appear bit by bit.

The information is incremented as one goes along in the filters. Therefore, when you
display several filters, they will be added one to another, and will not be canceled.

To hide all objects, click on Hide all.

STEP 4:

As you can see the User objects filtering function of hauls is composed of different tabs.
First in this part we will focus on the General criteria tab.

3. By position

The first steps are the same as explained previously, that is to say that before making
the filter, you must hide the data, select the type “hauls” in the list and create the filter.

You have the possibility in the Catsat Catchbook module to make filters according to the
position of the hauls. You can select a position on the map and display the hauls around
this point in the limit of the knots you have determined.

Change the boxes

Centre and Range in
the position field
using the scrolling
lists.

The Centre is the

geographical position
whereas the Range is
the distance around
the position centre.

4. By date or annual period

You have the possibility to make filters in function of a date, or included into a period of
time. Like for the other steps above, you must first hide the data displayed on the map,
select “hauls” in the list and create the filter.

You can display all the catches of a vessel (or many vessels) at a precise period, or all
the catches included in a period of time every year.

First, choose a folder to

select the requested
vessel.

If you want to display

all the catches of all

C. Filter using other criteria

The filter function allows you to make searches on a catches database not only with
general criteria such as position, folder or date (see points above). The Catchbook
module allows you to display the requested catches according to the result (total fishes,
environment during the haul, state of the sea, weather conditions…)

These functionalities are very useful when you have a huge database and when you want
to display catches with some particular conditions.

In the part B we have seen filters relating to the tab General criteria. But you can also
make filters from the three other tabs: General, Result and Environment, choosing the
parameters from each tab according to your needs.

Obviously you can mixed the parameters from the three tabs together with those
presented above on the tab named General criteria.

As you can see, we find in the General tab the same options that during the step of
creation of the haul.

We have the fishing area, aspect, behavior and the shoal size. If these boxes have been
correctly filled when creating the haul, you will be able to filter the catches according to
these parameters.

In addition to that, you can make filters about the vessel name, the name of the captain
and the period in which this captain worked, included between two dates (in years).

as when creating a new haul. This time, the tab sums up all information relative to the
wind (speed, course, and direction), the weather, the moon and the color and
temperature of water.

By ticking one or several boxes you will be able to make filters with these parameters.

D. Other filters

The Catch book module allows you to create filters not only on hauls, but to all objects
from the List of User Objects. In this way, you can create filters for Marks, Areas, tracks,
routes and analyses.

Please note that the tabs are different for these elements. General Criteria for searches
are the same (position, date…), but the other tab do not exist, except for tracks, marks
and areas where you can make filters by colors.

To select the other objects, choose the requested one in the Type scrolling list.

E. How to export catches.

You have the possibility to export the database created in the Catsat software Catch book
module. All the catches, marks, areas, tracks, routes and analyses can be exported as a
database. You can save all the data on an external hard disk or on another format.

To export all the data from the List

of Users Objects into a database,
make a right-click on Folders and
then select Export.

All the data will be exported.

Be careful, if you have more than a

year of data, the folder can be very
heavy. Check that the destination of
the database will be big enough to
support the database file.

This function can be used for saving your catches on an external device (such as USB
memory stick, external hard drive…)

F. How to Import data

When you import new objects into the software, they are automatically transformed into
Catsat format. This operation can be very useful if you are a new Catsat user and you
wish to conserve your historical data, or if you wish to import a Catsat database with
user objects.

You have the possibility to import your old Gecdis database, but also Turbo 2000, Maxsea
files or Quodfish files. In this manual we will just look at how to import from a Gecdis
database. For Maxsea files imports please refer to the Navigation module.

Select Import in the Library menu and

then Gecdis database.
