Introducing EcoFish™—a powerful new fish mapping layer powered by Echoview, the industry leader in fisheries hydroacoustic processing. With a Lowrance or Simrad depth finder, users can now generate detailed fish data including counts, depths, relative sizes, and locations—alongside habitat insights like water temperature, depth contours, bottom hardness, vegetation abundance, and side-scan imagery, all from a single sonar log. EcoFish™ is an add-on to any EcoSound™ mapping subscription and applies to both new and eligible past* .sl2 /.sl3 file uploads. BioBase automatically processes standard 2D down-looking sonar data to deliver fish outputs when EcoFish™ is enabled.

Create detailed bathymetric, aquatic, and coastal habitat maps automatically by recording sonar from low-cost, yet powerful Lowrance^® or Simrad^® sonar devices. See what sonar devices are compatible with BioBase and how to buy.

EcoSound™ automates the processing of sonar files with sophisticated automated algorithms based on cloud servers. Sonar files are processed automatically upon upload, and high-quality maps and spatial datasets are delivered to your secure online BioBase account within minutes and available for downloading and sharing with partners, stakeholders or customers.

All interactive maps, processed data, and data reports are backed up and archived in an easy to browse dashboard. Data reports are created automatically, are available for sharing and for exporting to a third-party GIS or statistical software.

Verify outputs with trip replay - your maps, sonar log (both traditional broadband and structure channels), and data along your track are synced, making output verification and editing easy.

Our analytical tools allow you to create polygons around an area of interest and generate local statistics for water volume or aquatic vegetation cover.
