A fishfinder is a
type of fathometer, both being specialized types of echo sounding
systems, a type of Active SONAR. ('Sounding' is the
measurement of water depth, a historical nautical term of very long usage.) The
fishfinder uses active sonar to detect fish and 'the bottom' and displays them
on a graphical display device, generally a LCD or CRT screen. In contrast, the
modern fathometer (from fathom plus meter, as in 'to measure') is designed
specifically to show depth, so may use only a digital display (useless for fish
finding) instead of a graphical display, and frequently will have some means of
making a permanent recording of soundings (which are merely shown and
subsequently electronically discarded in common sporting fishfinder technology)
and are always principally instruments of navigation and safety.
The
distinction is in their main purpose and hence in the features given the system.
Both work the same way, and use similar frequencies, and, display type
permitting, both can show fish and the bottom. Thus today, both have merged,
especially with the advent of computer interfaced multipurpose fishfinders
combining GPS technology, digital
chart-plotting, perhaps RADAR and electronic compass
displays in the same affordable sporting unit.
