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.
