Chapters

Higginbottom I, Woon S and Schneider P (2009). Hydroacoustic data processing for standard stock assessment using Echoview.

1. View and inspect data
2. Calibration
3. Scrutinization
4. Analysis
5. Multiple frequency data
6. Exporting data and further calculations
7. Advanced visualization
8. Echoview templates and live viewing of data

Due to its technical nature, the manual's topics only provide a general introduction/guide to the issues and types of data processing that you may need to consider for your data.

For a more solid scientific and theoretical foundation for your work, we advise that you seek further up-to-date information in the hydroacoustic literature or contact us about training.

Rationale

• Echoview training and tutorial materials
• Cited texts and papers
• The NOAA/NMFS data-processing protocols
• The Standard Operating Procedures for Acoustics in the Great Lakes

This technical manual is designed to be used with Echoview version 4.90.
