In order to investigate remotely the behavior and distribution of fishes, the telesounder system which was composed of two parts with a buoy station at sea and a base station on land was manufactured trial. The buoy station at sea consists of fishfinder, transmission interface and transceiver. On the other hand, the base station on land consist of transceiver, receiving interface, trigger/signal separator and color display monitor. The system simulation for the performance of telesounder was carried out by use of echo simulator which could input echo signal into fishfinder. The received power (dBm) of transceiver at 29.4MHz decreased almost in proportion to distance between transmitter and receiver, and the electric field intensity was 12.12mV/m at 100 meters distance from transmitter. The image of color display monitor at the base station on land was very well coincident with the records of fishfinder from the buoy station located at sea. Therefore, it is concluded that the telesounder system is very useful in the analysis of the information on the behavior and the distribution of fishes detected from sea
