Figure 1. Water column sonar data from a shallow region (75 meters or 246 feet deep) in the Gulf of Mexico. Several scattering layers can be seen in the water column in both frequency ranges. Scattering layers can result from congregations of biology, such as fish or plankton, and/or changes in water properties.
