Welcome to Aquacoustics, Inc.
We provide consulting services in the field of fisheries acoustics. We use sonar technology to estimate the number or biomass of fish, or to study fish behavior, distribution and habitat. Sonar is a non-invasive method that can be used in water too turbid for video; can be automated and, when used appropriately, provide reliable data economically.
Common applications are fish stock assessment, monitoring fish behavior at hydroelectric dams or other man-made structures, or mapping bathymetry and substrate type.
Our services cover
- project design
- project management
- data collection
- acoustic data processing and analysis
(fish tracking, echo integration, substrate typing,
bathymetric data analysis) - mapping and spatial analysis
- training
Our clients come from private industry, government agencies, universities and native organizations. They include fisheries biologists who are interested in using sonar technology but need help with selecting suitable equipment, sampling sites, survey design and data analysis; and power companies that need to monitor fish entrainment or prove the effectiveness of by-pass structures.
We work with several different manufacturers and software companies, including SoundMetrics (DIDSON), OceanMarine (DIDSON), Simrad, BioSonics, SonarData (EchoView®)and Pacific Eumetrics (image processing, target tracking and classification).
