Triaxus-System

The TRIAXUS- SYSTEM of Prof. Dr. C. Möllmann's team consists of a towed vehicle connected to a winch with 2000 m fiber optic cable.

The TRIAXUS can be towed up to a vessel speed of 10kn (about 20 km/h) . The system is designed to analyse the pelagic habitat in the sea.

On the TRIAXUS a suite of sensors is installed to measure biological and physical habitat properties. Fish distribution and 3D overlap with plankton organism are key questions of research.
