AB - Scientific-grade echosounders are a standard tool in fisheries science and have been used formonitoring the interactions of fish with tidal energy turbines in various high flow environmentsaround the world. Some of the physical features of the Minas Passage present uniquechallenges in using echosounders for monitoring in this environment (e.g., entrained air andsuspended sediment in the water column), but have helped to identify hydroacoustictechnologies that are better suited than others for achieving monitoring goals. John Horne’sreport and presentation will present a overview of echosounders and associated software thatare currently available for monitoring fish in high-flow environments, and identify those that areprime candidates for monitoring tidal energy turbines in the Minas Passage.
