ASL Adds Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler (AZFP)-Nano to Its Instrument Suite

ASL has added the Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler (AZFP)-nano to its family of advanced acoustic instruments for aquatic environments. This compact, lightweight, single-frequency scientific echosounder is a miniaturized version of the AZFP and is well-suited for applications in challenging environments where size and weight are important considerations. This advanced profiler was developed to measure a wide range of physical and biological parameters, including zooplankton, fish, algae, bubbles, and suspended sediments within the water column. The AZFP-nano has useful applications for fisheries sciences, oceanography, and environmental monitoring, and due to its compact design, the AZFP-nano can easily fit on AUVs, CTD rosette samplers, and other instrument packages.
