DESCRIPTION
MX Aquatic Habitat Echosounder
Our complete Aquatic Habitat Echosounder System lets you simultaneously acquire submerged aquatic vegetation, substrate, and bathymetry data using Visual Acquisition software and instantly create layered, colored and contoured maps using Visual Habitat software.
- Map submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV)
- Map eelgrass and other habitat areas
- Monitor invasive aquatic weeds
- Delineate areas of sand, mud, rock
- Generate contour profiles
- Shallow water mapping
Mobile survey deployment from small boats or research vessels in lakes, rivers, estuaries, shallow marine environments.
OEM version for ASVs and ROVs features a compact electronics package ideal for small, autonomous and remotely operated vehicles.
