It is primarily used to assess the species, quantity, and distribution of fisheries resources within a given marine area. The system typically features multibeam or stratified sonar to detect fish density and movement patterns, complemented by underwater cameras for species identification and behavioral observation. Some systems are also equipped with automated sampling devices capable of precisely capturing fish or plankton samples at specific depths or locations for subsequent laboratory analysis. This system is widely applied in marine fisheries resource surveys, conservation assessments, and fishery management planning, serving as a vital tool for sustainable fisheries management and scientific research.

現場採樣過濾器(in-situ Pump)可放置於不同水層中，直接抽取大量海水，將水中懸浮顆粒留置於濾紙上，便可取得研究人員所需要的水中懸浮顆粒，不需要取大量水樣至甲板過濾，省時省力。 The in-situ pump can be placed at different water depths to directly extract large volumes of seawater, trapping suspended particles on filter membranes. This allows researchers to collect the needed suspended particles without having to bring large water samples to the deck for filtration, saving time and effort.
