ODIM Brooke Ocean has received an order for the delivery of an ODIM LOPC™ to the Department of Biology, Institute for Coastal Science and Policy East Carolina University (www.ecu.edu/biology). The LOPC will be used by Dave Kimmel, Assistant Professor at the Institute for Coastal Science and Policy's Biology Department, for high spatial and temporal resolution in the study of zooplankton distribution in coastal and estuarine waters.

The ODIM LOPC™ is the next generation in plankton profiling. The LOPC's high-speed processing and improved detection plane provides detection counts at higher resolutions and higher concentrations with lower coincidence. They system can be installed on various towbody scenarios as well as on the ODIM MVP™ multi-sensor free fall fish, enabling vertical real-time water column profiling while underway at speeds up to 12 knots.

ODIM BROOKE OCEAN is a subsidiary of ODIM ASA (www.odim.com). ODIM BROOKE OCEAN manufactures advanced data collection systems including: Moving Vessel Profiler (ODIM MVP™), SeaHorse wave-powered profiler, Free Fall Cone Penetrometer (ODIM FFCPT™), Laser Optical Plankton Counter (ODIM LOPC™) and supplies launch/recovery systems for various payloads including unmanned vehicles, towbodies and oceanographic systems.
