Fish arches are created when the cone of sound
passes
over
a fish.
The distance to a fish when the cone first strikes it is shown as
"A" on
the next
page.
When the center of the cone strikes
the
fish,
the
distance is
shorter,
as shown in "B". As the cone leaves the
fish,
the
distance
increases
again
as shown in "C".
When the Fish l.D. feature is
off,
the
depth
of the water will affect
the
size and
shape
of the fish arch due to the cone
angle
diameter.
For
example,
if the cone
passes
over a fish in shallow
water,
the
signal
displayed
on
the unit
may
not arch at all. This is due to the narrow cone
diameter and the resolution limitations of the
display.
