We manufacture oceanographic equipment for the international scientific community. Open Seas is a manufacturer of equipment for physical oceanographers and marine biologists.
Marine Biology products are various types of fully instrumented zooplankton sampling systems. These are multiple net, with propietary datalogger and deck operating software. They include the Bioness, Mininess, RMT and Tucker Trawls.
The company also specializes in highly stable mooring systems for oceanographic instrumentation. The SUBS line is a system used for mooring current meters, ADCP's, acoustic and and optical instruments. By using patented streamlined buoys, the moorings are kept very stable, vortex shedding is virtually eliminating which substantially reduces mooring oscillation, and instrument data is significantly enhanced.
Open Seas provides trawl resistant bottom mounts for
instrumentation (primarily ADCPs and ADPs), significantly reducing fishing gear depredation.
Subs streamlined buoys have been configured as Sidescan tow bodies which allow sidescan sonar operators to work and obtain good data in sea states that were previously impossible.
The company has recently introduced a line of low torque oceanographic swivels. These are primarily used on instrumented moorings. They are ball bearing, oil-filled, pressure compensated and low maintenence. Presently available in 1 tonne SWL, stainless 316 construction.
