Shadows
-Result from a lack of reflected sonar
from a particular area and can be as valuable
for interpretation than the sonar reflected by
the object itself. Use shadows to help you see
the image in 3 dimensions, oriented in space.
You can gain insight into the actual shape of
an object, or the depth to which it has sunk

taller the object. Fish also cast shadows. You
can use the shadow to interpret how close
the fish is to the bottom.
