“ACCU-FISH TM ” identifies individual fish with size and fish mark function
Recognizes individual or multiple fish instantaneously
ACCU-FISH TM is a revolutionary fish size assessment function of the FCV-688. In order to assess
individual fish size, the echo strength from the fish needs to be computed and turned into fish size
display on the screen. It can detect the fish size of 10 to 199 cm, in the depth of 2 to 100 m.
Displaying fish marks
The fish mark can be utilized to display on individual fish echoes
when detected. It helps beginners to identify the fish targets on the

White Line function distinguishes fish from bottom
The white line function helps you distinguish bottom fish from the
bottom by changing the strongest signal color to white. This function is
not only useful discriminating bottom fish but is also valuable for judging
fish school density. The setting range is 0%-100%, in intervals of 1%.
The higher the value the thicker the line.

Many fish marks appears on the screen in the thick weed
bed. The white line function helps distinguish bottom and
weed from the actual fish.
Post-Processing Gain Control
With conventional gain controls, changes are made for new Gain: 4 Gain: 2
echoes only when a change in the setting is applied. With the
