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 so-
nar 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 bottom can be detected.
Tilt angle: -0
°
to 20
°
Fish echo which appears together with
or after bottom can be detected.

When the tilt angle is shallow,
he reflection echo from bottom
is weak and the fish echo
which appears from bottom
is easy to find.
