Fish Finder Market

Fish Finder Market: Introduction

Fish finder is an instrument used to detect fish underwater by locating reflected pulses of sound energy (sonar). A modern fish finder displays measurements of reflected sound on a graphical display, permitting an operator to get information to locate schools of fish, underwater debris, and the bottom of a body of water. Fish finder instruments are used both by sport and commercial fishermen. The fish finder offers built-in functions such as autopilot, radar, GPS, and transducer. Fish finders are available in different sizes, price ranges, and various advance features.

Key Drivers of the Fish Finder Market

• Rise in living standards and disposable income is driving the growth of the fish finder market. Growing consumption of fish products across the world, as fish food is a valuable source of protein, is propelling the fish finder market globally.
• Adoption of Bluetooth, smartphones, and Wi-Fi is growing rapidly, which is expected to drive the fish finder market. Additionally, fish finders are easy to handle, as they are flexible. They are easy to use and operate as well.

Networked systems such as radar and vector GPS charts creating opportunities in the fish finder market  

Networked systems offer built-in functions that include radar, raster, and vector GPS charts, video, and SiriusXM satellite radio. Moreover, many networked system fish finders can easily operate through Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and smartphones. They are mainly used in medium-sized or large vessels. All these features are expected to increase the market size of networked system fish finders to a large extent in the coming years.

Government Regulations via Fisheries Act, a Restraint for the Fish Finder Market

Fisheries Act, Fisheries and Oceans Canada regulates the aquaculture industry in order to protect fish and fish habitat. The Act sets out rules on fisheries licensing, management, and protection and pollution prevention.
