The AQUAmark is designed to be attached to fishing gear at regular intervals, typically on a head rope for bottom set nets, or on a foot rope for drift nets.
To ensure adequate acoustic coverage for porpoise deterrence, the AQUAmark 100 should be attached to the ends of the gear, and at separations not exceeding 200 metres.
This spacing has also been found acceptable for the AQUAmark 200 where dolphin bycatch is a problem, although closer spacing may be necessary when there is deliberate predation from fishing gear.

 Loughborough innovation prevents fishing net deaths of dolphins and porpoises
These signals act as a warning, repelling the mammals from fishing nets, and at close range can actively mask echoes from the fish they may be targeting with their sonar.
AQUAmark is not only effective as a porpoise deterrent but offers a much longer operating life and includes management features which are not possible with analogue technology traditionally used in pingers introduced in the USA.”
One of AQUAmark’s biggest successes has been in Denmark where after very thorough testing new regulations were introduced two years ago that required this pinger to be used in the North Sea wreck net fishery for cod.

 AquaMark 3 - Preview
In the past we have used AquaMark 2.3 in our benchmark suite and although still a reputable application, Massive figured it was time for the next best thing.
This is AquaMark 3, a benchmark that will utilize some of the finest DirectX 9 capabilities like Pixel and Vertex Shaders 2.0, and yet is by far not as Shader dependant as Half-Life is, for example.
AquaMark 3, however, is not solely a DirectX9 benchmark; if you are working with a DirectX 8 or 7 compatible graphics card, you will still be able to use it just with a lot of graphical features missing.

AquaMark 3 will be a fully DirectX 9-capable cutting-edge benchmark based on Massive Development's krass (tm) engine which also powers AquaNox 2: Revelation.
The AquaMark 3 benchmark allows users to observe the new graphical techniques made possible by DirectX 9 and determine the performance of these features in a real world application.
Aquamark 3 will be available for public download in March.

 Elite Bastards - ATi driver 'optimisations'? An investigation - "We find it offensive that you find it offensive."   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The first case looked at by Tom's Hardware is that of AquaMark 3, where it is suggested that ATi are lightening the workload on their cards by rendering certain parts of some of the tests incompletely.
One of the AquaMark images seems to be simply a case of one card having a brighter or higher gamma image than the other, which is in no way going to improve performance.
This may also be the case in the second AquaMark image, but from the evaluation here it looks as if there may indeed be more to it than a simple gamma issue.

The AQUAmark series of pingers are the result of bioacoustics research by the Underwater Acoustic Research Group at Loughborough University, England.
Their primary application is to reduce the unintentional catch of marine mammals in commercial fisheries and other marine operations.
Further trials in the Mediterranean in 2001 with the AQUAmark 200 showed a similar reduction in dolphin bycatch.

 Loughborough innovation prevents fishing net deaths of dolphins and porpoises
The positive outcome – just one animal caught in a net equipped with deterrents although 23 were killed in nearby unprotected nets during the study – prompted a Danish regulation requiring the use of such acoustic deterrents on all wreck nets (one type of gillnet) from August to October.
The preliminary trials in the French Mediterranean ‘Thonaille’ fishery using AQUAmark 200, a lower frequency device adapted for use with dolphins, showed an 87.3% reduction in the number of dolphins caught, and a further 1600 devices were subsequently purchased to support an extended study involving the whole fleet.

Because the Aquamark benchmarks are based on an actual game engine, they must support old and new video cards alike.
With Aquamark set to run at a resolution of 1600x1200, the X800 XL again lost to the 6800 Ultra, but this time by about 10%, when no AA or aniso filtering was used.

 Elite Bastards - AquaMark 3 - Review and Performance Comparison - "We find it offensive that you find it offensive."
With AquaMark 3’s credentials as a benchmark discussed, it’s time to use it in anger and put it to what it is designed for — Testing video cards.
Rather than simply show the final score generated by AquaMark, I felt it would be much more useful and relevant to show the maximum, minimum and average frame rate achieved by the cards.
If you take AquaMark 3 as an indicator for DirectX 9 performance, it goes along with what many other benchmarks have been saying (although the gulf in AquaMark 3 is not as wide) - That the 9800 Pro is the best performer in its class.

 DarkVision Hardware - ATi Catalyst driver irregularities in Aquamark 3 examined   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Thankfully, since my initial article Massive Development (the developers of AquaMark 3) have stepped forward and very kindly made available to me an entire library of reference rasteriser images from their benchmark to use as a comparison.
According to Elite Bastards the found irregularities in Aquamark 3 are caused by a driver bug which possibly affects gamma levels so that it makes things darker than they should be.
There seems to be no performance benefit from doing this, so to call it a 'questionable optimisation' seems wholly inappropriate in light of this.

According to the faq, "AquaMark 3 approximately generates 30% of it's screen pixels (without overdraw) through ps2.0." The detail is quite impressive and can be visually seen in the bubbles of the water that are shown, as well as the light reflectivity in the bubbles of water.
Meanwhile, the Mobility Radeon 9600 on the average is situated in the mid teens.

I just want to proudly announce that my aquamark 2001 score is like shit, less than 5K, LOL, :bawl: but on the sandra test, my mobile 2500+ runs on a par with an athlon 3200+ :angel: although I got a chip with a lousy stepping (AQY something).
