The transducers may transmit one or more sonar signals …, e. g. [, ] sonar beams, into a body of water … with an emitting transducer … or similar device. When the sound waves, of the sonar beams, strike anything of differing acoustic impedance(e. g., the sea floor or something suspended in the water above the bottom), the sound waves reflect off that object … These echoes(or sonar returns …) may strike the emitting transducer element and/or a separate one or more sonar receiver elements, which convert the echoes back into an electrical signal which is processed by a processor … and sent to a display … mounted in the cabin or other convenient location in the watercraft.

Record 3 2019-04-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Behaviour
  • Fish
DEF

A ... threat or reproductive behavior exhibited by many species of fishes, in which two male fish align beside each other, spread their dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins, and intensify the coloration of their bodies.

CONT

’Lateral display’ refers to the maximal opening of all the fins with a slight concavity of the dorsal surface of the fish, and head and tail flexed upwards usually aligning laterally to the other fish. In ’frontal display’, the fish orients with its head pointed towards another fish, the dorsal surface of the fish is slightly convex with the head lower than the tail, the mouth is open, and the floor of the mouth is slightly depressed.

OBS

These threats are usually accompanied by tail beats and body quivering.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Comportement animal
  • Poissons
DEF

... comportement agonostique stréréotypé adopté par certains poissons, dont les salmonidés, pour intimider l'adversaire [et qui consiste] à présenter une taille exagérée [...] de profil (latérale) grâce à la contraction de muscles particuliers aboutissant à la courbure du corps, [l']érection des nageoires, l'écartement des opercules ou l'abaissement du plancher buccal.

CONT

Posture de menace latérale. La menace la plus fréquente, pour un saumon qui voit approcher un congénère de son territoire, consiste à dresser la nageoire dorsale et éventuellement déployer l'anale. Ce signal, amplifiant sa surface visible et donc son apparence, suffit souvent à écarter le visiteur. Si celui-ci persiste et arrive en posture menaçante, nageoire dressée en se plaçant à côté de l'autre poisson, les deux saumons remontent lentement le courant, nageoires toujours dressées. Cette séquence peut simplement s'arrêter à ce stade ou évoluer vers des attitudes plus agressives.

A stocker works at a store organizing, stocking, and restocking shelves with goods for sale. Typically, stores that employ dedicated stockers are larger facilities such as department, appliance, and hardware stores; supermarkets also use stockers. The primary job of a stocker is to replace and rotate items on the sales floor in compliance with store procedures. They may follow inventory or restock reports generated by previous or ongoing sales data to replace items. In instances where new products are to be offered, the stocker typically helps manage space and display areas as part of the job.
