TWC-1 with DFO aboard the Connor Murphy

Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans researchers in Newfoundland used a TWC-1 Tensiometer Wire Counter for their operations aboard the salvage/rescue vessel Connor Murphy.

The TWC-1 was developed to answer these researchers’ need for a tension metering and wire counting solution that would help them detect changes in tension indicating when their baited camera trap hit the sea floor, though they also use the TWC-1 with other equipment like water sampling rosettes.
