DT-X Submersible
The DT-X Extreme is an innovative and versatile echo sounder system that expands your data collection opportunities. The DT-X Extreme operates with a split beam or single beam transducers and can be operated as:
- A portable system for mobile surveys
- A fully autonomous system, ideal for ASV/USV surveys, surface buoys, and other unmanned deployments
- For fixed location monitoring applications
The DT-X Extreme includes our patented data collection and analysis software, and produces accurate, high resolution water column data and results for fisheries management and research, and for studies on 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. # echosounders

Our complete Aquatic Habitat Echo Sounder System lets you simultaneously acquire submerged aquatic vegetation, substrate, and bathymetry data using BioSonics’ Visual Acquisition software. In addition, with our Visual Aquatic software you can instantly create layered, colored, and contoured maps. 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, or shallow marine environments. OEM version for ASVs and ROVs features a compact electronics package ideal for small, autonomous, and remotely operated vehicles.
Omnidirectional Marine Life Observer
Omnidirectional Marine Life Observer is the first of its kind—providing 360 sound underwater insights using BioSonics’ unique mammal-friendly sonar. A Long-range target detection, classification and reporting system, the Marine Life Observer gives those working to understand, explore, protect, and develop marine resources the ability to gather reliable scientific data—information crucial in making informed decisions that support the sustainable economic growth of the Blue Economy while preserving the health of the environment. Unbiased data and data analysis includes location, depth, behaviour, general type of marine life, and noteworthy environmental changes, and can be used in permitting, supporting data-driven policy setting, location selection, monitoring, maintenance of long-term operations, and more.
Product Features:
- Omnidirectional perimeter detection sonar
- Directed split beam tracker and classifier
- Continuous data transmitted via the cloud
- Fully autonomous or cabled operation
- Real-time analysis, alerts, and summary reports 3-D target tracking and localization
- Easily integrates with other technology, such as camera, sensors, AI, equipment, and transceivers
- Marine mammal friendly low frequency sound suppression
Data in Real-Time
In addition to detecting a target from afar, the Omnidirectional Marine Life Observer can determine whether a target is likely to interact with the marine energy device or simply pass it by and can offer early warning of debris or marine life intrusion. Continuous, real-time monitoring of complex and constantly changing underwater environments means that concerns or problems can be addressed immediately.
Aquaculture Biomass Monitor
The BioSonics Aquaculture Biomass Monitor (ABM) is a fully automated sonar system for biomass measurement in salmon in net pen aquaculture. The ABM collects data from thousands of fish per day and automatically generates reports presented on the customer’s Dashboard and accessible from anywhere. Access to real-time and historical data informs decision making and helps operators: Increase feed efficiency Maximize productivity Monitor fish growth, weight, and behavior Detect escapement or disease Provide important insights on the overall health of net pen populations The Aquaculture Biomass Monitor is an easy-to-use, robust, fully autonomous, buoy mounted echo sounder system that operates continuously in the net pen, collecting data from the entire water column, automatically calculating the size, depth, and swim speed for each fish detected. Advanced software has been developed to create fully customizable, easy to understand reports, automatically transmitted via the Internet to feed barge operators and management.
