Fish School

A fish school appears as a mass of echoes. The color of the mass shows the
density. To know the distribution and center point of a fish school, choose
several different tilt angles.
(A) Sea surface fish
Tilt angle: 0˚ to 10˚
(B) Midwater, bottom fish
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.

To search bottom fish, use a
narrow tillt angle so the bottom
echo will be weak, enabling you
to see bottom fish echoes.
