Classification of Fish Species using High Resolution Sonar Techniques

Summary

This report describes the activities and results obtained from the research programme that was designed to investigate the feasibility of using high resolution sonar techniques for classifying fish species. The final aim of this work would be to provide the fishsing industry with an instrument that is capable of reliabily identifying the species of fish within the sonar beam, before they are caught within the trawl net.
