Mergefrom Digital scientific echosounder discuss Talk Digital scientific echosounder Merge proposal date April 2009 A scientific echosounder is a device which uses SONAR technology for the measurement of underwater physical and biological components this device is also known as scientific SONAR . Applications include bathymetry , seabed substrate classification , studies of Alga aquatic vegetation , fish , and plankton , and differentation of water mass es. Technology Scientific echosounder equipment is built to exacting standards and tested to be stable and reliable in the transmission and receiving of sound energy under the water. Recent advances have led to the development of the digital scientific echosounder , further enhancing the reliability and precision with which these systems operate. Modern scientific echosounders are reliable, portable, and relatively easy to use. Data collected with a scientific echosounder can be analyzed for the presence, abundance, distribution and acoustic characteristics of such variables as depth bathymetry , bottom substrate class e.g., sand, mud, rock , submersed aquatic vegetation SAV , and water column scattering fish and plankton . Resulting analysis can be used to generate GIS data layers for these variables. Applications Scientific echosounders are commonly used by International, Federal, State and Local government and management agencies, as well as private sector consultants working for these public agencies. Academic institutions have realized and are teaching the value of sampling non invasively with sound to enhance both the spatial coverage and objectivity of fisheries sampling. Fisheries management agencies such as the membership of ICES and the United States National Marine Fisheries Service NMFS commonly use scientific sonar for stock assessment purposes, such as herring biomass assessment for resource management purposes. More recently, the acoustic data collected has been valuable in underwater habitat assessment ... more details
