  • Page 103 7. FISH FINDER OPERATIONS Bottom contour The tail from a hard bottom is longer than the tail from a soft bottom, because the hard bottom reflects more of the ultrasonic pulse. An echo from shallow water gives a stron- ger reflection than the echo received from deep water. A longer bottom tail appears on slopes, because of the difference in travel time at both edges of the beam angle.
  • Page 104 7. FISH FINDER OPERATIONS Size of a school of fish Usually the size of fish echoes on the screen is proportional to the actual size of the school of fish. However, if two fish echoes appear at different depths with the same size, the school of fish at the shallower depth is displayed smaller because the ultra- sonic beam widens as it propagates and a school of fish in deep water is displayed larger.
