1，Sonar

Sonar is a technique that uses sound propagation (usually underwater) to navigate, communicate or to detect other vessels. Sonar may be used as a means of acoustic location. The term sonar is also used for the equipment used to generate and receive the sound. The frequencies used in sonar systems vary from infrasonic to ultrasonic.

Dolphins are marine mammals that are closely related to whales and porpoises. There are almost forty species of dolphin in seventeen genera. They vary in size from 1.2 meters and 40 kilograms, up to 9.5 m and 10 ton. They are found worldwide, mostly in the shallower seas of the continental shelves, and are carnivores, mostly eating fish and squid. Dolphins are considered to be amongst the most intelligent of animals and their often friendly appearance and seemingly playful attitude have made them popular in human culture.
