DT-X Extreme Autonomous Portable Scientific Echosounder

The DT-X Extreme is an innovative and versatile echosounder system that expands your data collection opportunities. Operate the DT-X Extreme as a portable system for mobile surveys, or as a fully autonomous system, ideal for ASV/USV surveys, surface buoys and other unmanned deployments, or for fixed location monitoring applications. The DT-X Extreme produces accurate, high resolution water column data and results for fisheries management and research, to study communities of biological organisms and physical elements of marine and freshwater ecosystems, including fish schools and individuals, plankton, nekton, mammals, birds, debris, oil droplets, gas bubbles and more.

DT-X SUB Autonomous Submersible Scientific Echosounder

The BioSonics DT-X SUB Echosounder System is a completely self-contained echosounder solution for autonomous deployments where cabling to the surface may be cost-prohibitive or impractical. DT-X scientific echosounder technology is packaged in a pressure rated housing that is adaptable for deployment via AUV, ROV, or seafloor observatory platform. The DT-X SUB is programmed at the surface for the desired sampling interval and ping rate. The DT-X SUB has programmable duty cycling for extended battery life, and is ideal for long term studies.

Mx Aquatic Habitat Echosourder

The MX Aquatic Habitat Echosounder is a complete hardware and software system designed to simultaneously map submerged aquatic vegetation, classify substrate, and collect bathymetry data. With integrated DGPS, scientific transducer, and a rugged weatherproof housing, the MX echosounder system provides a turn-key solution for rapid assessment of submersed plants and substrate classification. This easy-to-use system allows for quick identification of rock, sand, and mud while also assessing plant canopy height and percent coverage. Even novice users will quickly learn to collect and process data and create powerful imagery to visualize results using Visual Habitat Software mapping tools.

DT-X Automated Monitoring Systems

BioSonics offers unique and innovative solutions to monitor fish passage and assess behavioral impacts on aquatic animals including marine mammals, fish, and diving birds. BioSonics sonar systems are often installed in fixed-position deployments to observe the underwater environment over a period of weeks, months or even years at a time. Such long-term observations are essential in monitoring changes in the behavior and for assessing fluctuations in the abundance of aquatic animals. Applications for this technology include water intakes, marine and hydrokinetic turbine installations, spillways, screens, and fish bypass structures where concerns are raised about the impacts of operations on aquatic species.
