A fishing system includes a submersible fishing implement for being received in a body of water and configured for capturing one or more fish. An implement driver is configured to drive movement of the submersible fishing implement through the body of water. A data collection system includes one or more sensors for sensing one or more fishing parameters and transmitting a fishing parameter signal representative of the one or more fishing parameters. A controller is operatively connected to the data collection system to receive the fishing parameter signal and to determine based on the fishing parameter signal a selected fishing location. The controller is further configured to transmit a navigation signal to the implement driver operative to control the implement driver to drive movement of the submersible fishing implement toward the selected fishing location.

A fish-sorting system for sorting fish in a dragged fishing net (1), wherein the fish are actively sorted by means of a detection device (2, 3) which detects at least one size of a fish to be sorted; a processing unit which compares the size detected by the detection means (2, 3) with the desired size; and a sorting device (4) which retains fish in the fishing net (1) of a size greater than the desired size and which releases fish of a size smaller than the desired size from the fishing net (1) on the basis of the comparison between the detected size and the desired size carried out by the processing unit.
