Small school Size of school of fish Size of school of fish Usually the size of fish echoes on the screen is proportional to the actual size of the school of fish.
  • Page 181 11. ECHO SOUNDER Bottom fish The echoes from the bottom are stronger than the bottom fish Bottom fish echo echoes so that you can distinguish between them by colors. The bottom echoes are normally shown in reddish-brown or red, the bottom fish echoes in weaker color.
  • Page 182 11. ECHO SOUNDER Unstable bottom echo The bottom echoes can have a saw-tooth appearance. This oc- curs in heavy weather because pitching and rolling changes the direction of the ultrasonic pulses and the vertical motion of the Unstable bottom echo ship causes the distance to the bottom to change.
