Quality control

Every upload file is reviewed by trained staff to ensure the acoustic signal and outputs meet certain minimum standards. Quality control (QC) staff will review sonar/echosounder logs and communicate potential transducer installation problems that may affect the overall map quality.

Typically, any trip uploaded to BioBase will be reviewed by Quality control staff within 24 business hours. Provided you have opted in to receive processing notifications, email will be sent to your registered email address containing the quality control status and comments of your uploaded trip.

Note: Non-reviewed trips should be considered “provisional”. It is not recommended to edit or merge your trips if the QC staff have not reviewed your trips.
