The Simrad MS70 Scientific multibeam sonar is a high-performance system designed for fishery research applications. It uses a transducer array to emit a matrix of acoustic beams, providing detailed 3D volume data of fish schools using a single transmission. This allows you to track, follow, and study schools of fish over time, characterizing their structure and estimating their volume. The system also enables detection and characterization of schools close to the surface.
