System description System overview The Simrad ME70 offers quantitative data and high operational flexibility. It provides a configurable wide fan of stabilized and calibrated beams for biomass estimation, fish school characterization. and behaviour studies. All beams can be configured as split beams providing data for single target analysis, such as target strength measurements and target tracking.
