Welcome to Aquacoustics, Inc.
We provide consulting services in the field of fisheries acoustics. When used appropriately, sonar technology provides reliable data in a cost-effective manner. It is a non-invasive method that can be used under conditions that are too dark or too turbid for video, data can be collected continuously, and the analysis can often be automated to some degree.
We have over 25 years of experience with fish stock assessment (primarily lakes and rivers), monitoring fish behavior at hydroelectric dams or other man-made structures, and mapping bathymetry and substrate type for habitat studies.
Our services cover
- project design
- project management
- data collection (including remote operation)
- acoustic data processing and analysis
(fish tracking, echo integration, substrate typing,
bathymetric data analysis) - mapping and spatial analysis
- reporting and publication
- training
Our clients come from private industry, government agencies, universities and native organizations. Our typical clients are fisheries biologists who are interested in using sonar technology but need help with site selection, equipment selection, installation, survey design, data collection or 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 Sound Metrics (DIDSON), Ocean Marine (DIDSON), Simrad, BioSonics, Edge Tech (side scan sonar), and Myriax (EchoView).
