Fish Schools

A fish school appears as a mass of echoes on the screen. The
color of the mass shows the density of fish schools on the sonar
beam. To find distribution and center point of a fish school, try
several different tilt angles.

(A) Sea surface fish

Tilt angle: -5

to 10

(B) Midwater, bottom fish

Tilt angle: 30

or more

Fish echo which appears before seabed can be detected.

Tilt angle: -0

to 20

Fish echo which appears together with
or after seabed can be detected.
