Development of Mid-Frequency Multibeam Sonar for Fisheries Applications

Abstract

The long-term goal of this program is to investigate the utility of mid-frequency (~10 kHz) acoustics to detect, enumerate, and identify pelagic fish distributions. Objectives of this research include: comparisons of fish backscatter models, models of mid-frequency sound propagation, development of a mid-frequency multibeam sonar, and backscatter measurements using split-beam echo sounders and the multibeam sonar.
