loch is best fished from a boat. Hence, it is uncertain if the salmon had gas in the swim bladder during these experiments. The tank was large enough to be able to tow components of trawls, and it was possible to monitor the responses of fish using a high-resolution sector-scanning sonar developed at the University of Birmingham by Welsby and Dunn (1963). Loch Torridon is a large sea loch which is impassable by fleet trawlers, this provides a mini haven for local fish stocks and good bottom fishing for the sea angler. Mackays Hardware, Culag Square, Lochinver. This method of acoustic position fixing is described in detail by Hawkins et al. Fishing spots, fishing reports and regulations in. Masking of the thresholds did not take place under natural conditions of sea noise but could be imposed by creating higher levels of artificial noise. Salmon can be caught from July onwards, given rain, and up to thirty or so fish might be caught before the season's end in September. Experiments were then carried out where cod and haddock were conditioned to a short period of switching of a pulsed tone from one projector to another at different angles of azimuth. During the night the cod in Loch Beag moved over a wider area (Figure6). , Hawkins A. D. Chapman C. J. *Kate Maclaren is a classic fishing fly by the way, just to avoid any misunderstandings. One of the great advantages of the research facilities that we had available at Loch Torridon was that they attracted eminent and talented scientists, both from the United Kingdom and other countries, to come to Aird Mhor to work with us. Counts of fish observed by sonar and TV camera were then made before and after a diver was positioned at a particular location. The fish observed mainly comprised three gadoid species, the cod, the saithe Pollachius virens, and the pollack, but it was also possible to extend the observations to a flatfish, the dab. We placed a hydrophone in one of the cages to monitor haddock sounds. ; Use our Loch fishing map - to find loch fishing information. In a key paper (Schuijf, 1976), Arie had proposed that directional detection might involve two distinct processes: determination of the axis of particle motion by vector weighing and then removal of any remaining 180 ambiguities by analysis of the phase relationship between sound pressure and particle motion.
