... the industry standard for fish detection are split-beam echosounders. In ideal survey conditions, their echograms provide a clear image of fish as they travel through the beam of ensonified water. For high-energy tidal channels, the conventional processing approach is to limit the depth range by excluding the surface as it is difficult to distinguish bubbles from fish in areas of entrained air... When fish form dense aggregations, it can be difficult to acoustically identify an individual fish from its neighbour when the signal is over-saturated. 3, record 1, English, - fish%20detection

The usefulness of a surface-deployed sounder will be limited unless there is sufficient water depth... throughout the study area for the acoustic beam to be effective. In shallow water, the ensonified water volume decreases greatly and the surface blind-zone becomes a significant proportion of the water column. 2, record 2, English, - insonified

L'utilité d'un sondeur déployé à la surface sera limitée à moins qu'il n'existe une profondeur d'eau suffisante [...] tout au long de la zone d'étude pour que le faisceau acoustique soit efficace. En eau peu profonde, le volume d'eau insonifié diminue fortement et la zone aveugle de surface devient une proportion importante de la colonne d'eau. 2, record 2, French, - insonifi%C3%A9
