1 M or m â prefix designating a number in thousands (not to be confused with SI prefix M for mega-or m for milli).
There are two types commonly referred to as: 'Shallow' and 'Deep' water. The differences are not only in the Frequency but also in the Beam Width and they are as follows: 'Shallow' water HST-WSBL 106-72 Transducer will operate on 2 frequencies on the HDS models: 200 (20Â°) & 83KHz (60Â°). 'Deep' water HST-DFSBL 106-77 Transducer will operate on 2 frequencies on the HDS models: 200KHz (12Â°) & 50KHz (35Â°).
In most parts of the deep sea, the water temperature is more uniform and constant. With the exception of hydrothermal vent communities where hot water is emitted into the cold waters, the deep sea temperature remains between about -1 to about + 4Â°C. However, water never freezes in the deep sea (note that, because of salt, seawater freezes at -1.8Â°C).
