December 6, 2006 - VANCOUVER, B.C. - Northstar Technical Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Northstar Electronics, Inc. (OTCBB: NEIK), announces the release of new products to support the scientific assessment of fishing stocks and the promotion of sustainable fishing. The NetMind Scientific Survey System is based on the company’s wireless acoustic trawl monitoring system, well known amongst fishermen and scientists for its accuracy and reliability.  The Scientific Survey System provides the additional features of full-bandwidth raw acoustic recording along with the recording of various other vessel parameters, correlated in time.

 

Don Vokey, President of Northstar Technical says “This combination provides a full record of the survey that can serve as a basis for subsequent analysis and post-processing that is ‘the same as being there’. The Scientific Survey System also provides an audio track for test documentation.”

 

These features are made possible by the recent release of the company’s DSP-based Digital Acoustic Receiver. This advanced signal processing engine enables tracking of signals from the net during deployment and retrieval as well as while fishing.  This feature provides the tools necessary to “fly” the net into position with accuracy not possible with other systems.

 

Advanced playback application software available from NetMind can be used to  playback recorded data at greater than 10X speed to recreate any tow from the comfort of the lab or office. Northstar’s CEO, Dr. Wilson Russell, states “This is just the first steps that Northstar is taking to introduce exciting new products that have come out of our recent Aquacomm technology development program.  We look forward to providing more new products to support vibrant and sustainable world fisheries in future.”
