"This very useful guide is now in its second considerably improved
and updated edition … highly recommended." (Work Boat World,
October 2008) "The new volume of Fisheries Acoustics captures the
advances in the technology associated with the use of acoustics to
find, classify, size, enumerate, examine the behaviour of, and help
manage various types of fish."(Reviews in Fisheries Science,
November 2006)
"A thorough treatment of the acoustic instruments, sophisticated
displays, and microprocessor-based signal processing used
throughout the world to map the distribution of fish, estimate
biomass, locate fish shoals, monitor fish movement, and study fish
behavior. Emphasizes the practical methods for assessing fish
stock; also discusses the design, execution, and interpretation of
surveys, drawing from examples in many parts of the world."(Book
News (SciTech Book News), September 2005)
"If you really want to know how depth sounders, sonars and their
ilk work, you need this book. If you want to learn how to use your
fish finding equipment more effectively, you need it even
more."(Ausmarine)
"This textbook is an essential reference for professionals involved
with the design and use of acoustic equipment for assessing
fisheries and plankton populations...this book will be an
invaluable tool for any practitioner or researcher requiring an
understanding of the fundamentals of fisheries acoustics.the
modernised edition is timely and welcome"(Reviews in Fish Biology
and Fisheries (2007), 17:633-634)
