7.14 ACCU-FISH
™
The ACCU-FISH
™
feature, which requires an ACCU-FISH
™
capable transducer or
Bottom Discrimination Sounder BBDS1 or Network Fish Finder DFF1-UHD, calculates
the length of each fish and shows a fish symbol and depth value or fish length.
Usage guidelines
• The information provided by this feature is intended for reference only. It does not in-
dicate the exact length of a fish.
• ACCU-FISH
™
is available for use on both the high and low frequencies.
• The intensity of an echo depends on fish species. If the indicated length is different
from the true length, you can apply an offset. See section 7.14.2.
• Two frequencies are transmitted alternately without reference to the current display
mode.
• Use this feature with ship speed of 10 knots or less and depth between 2 and 100 m.
• This feature cannot be used with the inside-hull transducer since a fish may not be
detected depending on the frequency of the transducer. Even if a fish is detected, the
fish length indicated may be smaller than the actual length.
• ACCU-FISH
™
uses both low and high frequency echoes for the measurements re-
gardless of the frequency mode in use.
• Echoes from a school of fish can be in more than one layer, which can cause wrong
length indication.
• The fish symbol indication is not shown when the bottom echo is not shown on the
screen.
• The split range feature is inoperative when ACCU-FISH
™
is on.
