From SonarData to Myriax

Myriax Software was established as SonarData Pty Ltd in 1995. Its aim was to develop software for the visualization and processing of hydroacoustic data collected from fishing vessels. It soon expanded to support the major scientific echosounders and sonars in use around the world.

SonarData became Myriax via a change of name in January 2008. Myriax is now widely recognized as the world leader in the development of hydrocoustic visualization and analysis software for the global scientific community.

Through Myriax’s commitment to supporting each individual user, Echoview is now in use by more than 200 research institutes in over 30 countries around the world, and has become the standard for advanced hydroacoustic research in marine and freshwater environments.

Why Tasmania?

Many ask us how it is that a company based in Tasmania, at the bottom of the world,  has come to serve the world hydroacoustics community.  The answer is not simple, of course; many factors, including skills, opportunity and motivation, came together at one place and time.

Tasmania is actually an ideal place to establish a marine-related scientific company. Hobart is the home of many of Australia’s leading marine research institutes, including:

Hobart, and Tasmania in general, are great places to live. Hobart offers a safe city lifestyle with mountains, rivers and beaches that attract skilled, motivated people and entice them to stay.

Our founders

It was in the Tassie research environment that the skills of Ian Higginbottom (10 years hydroacoustics experience with AAD and CMAR), Tim Pauly (10 years hydroacoustics experience with AAD and Curtin University), Mark Underwood (10 years marine electronics experience with AAD and CMAR) and David Heatley (15 years computer programming and business experience) came together in the early 90s.

This team created the first version of Echoview and invited the world fisheries acoustics community to adopt them as their programmers.

The Echoview of today is the result of collaboration with hundreds of Echoview users around the world and the hard work of the skilled and dedicated Echoview team.

The cutting edge: Eonfusion 4D

In 2008 Myriax launched its second major software product, Eonfusion.

Eonfusion developed from the need to integrate the results of hydroacoustic surveys with information from physical oceanographers, phytoplankton scientists, biological oceanographers, zoologists and a multitude of other disciplines. Up to this point, there was no simple and effective way for this information be integrated and studied over a range of scales in space and time.

Eonfusion is now the answer.

As Eonfusion expands into the consciousness of scientists around the globe, we are already seeing an overwhelming array of exciting applications for this cutting-edge 4D data-visualization and analysis package.

From the marine realm through to sea-level-rise modelling, freshwater ecology, terrestrial animal tracking, training tools for athletes and even the analysis of global markets, we can expect Eonfusion to change the way in which we view, interpret and ultimately understand the world around us.
