©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.A high precision scientific echo sounder, designed to simultaneously operate frequencies ranging from 10 to 500 kHz. EK80 is a modular echo sounder system, and can operate with a combination of split and single beam transducers facilitated by a built-in calibration application. This system was built in succession to the EK60 echo sounder.

| Echosounder data from goliath grouper aggregations in Jupiter, FL from August 31 until November 30, 2020. | Simrad EK80 Scientific Wideband Transceivers were used with Simrad ES38-10 and ES120-7C Splitbeam echosounders. Echosounders were calibrated using standard techniques described by Demer et al. (2015). | Simrad EK80 Scientific Wideband Transceivers |
