RV Corella Fisheries Laboratory cooperated with the Admiralty Research Laboratory to identify fish detected by long-range sonar equipment installed at the Admiralty Experimental Station, Perranporth. The RV "Corella" was directed from the shore to an area some 65 km distant, that was returning a strong and extended echo. The "Corella" was able to correlate this target with shoals detected on a conventional echo sounder, and substantial catches of sprats were taken in the area using a midwater trawl. The RV "Corella" was used throughout the 1970s for pioneering studies on fish migration. Individual plaice ("Pleuronectes platessa") fitted with 300 kHz acoustic transponding
