  abstract = {{F}ish school swimming speeds is essential for ecological and management studies. {T}he multibeam sonar in horizontal beaming provided dynamic echo traces of mobile fish schools. {W}e used two school swimming speed indicators: the average of a series of instantaneous speed values, and the exploratory speed. {T}hese swimming speeds were estimated for each fish school observed on the basis of their {E}uclidian position within the sonar beams. {T}he average {ISS} values per school ranged from 0.15 m s(-1) to 4.46 m s(-1), while the {ESS} values per school were lower, ranging from 0.04 m s(-1) to 3.77 m s(-1). {M}ultibeam sonar technology makes it possible to measure fish school swimming speeds in their natural habitat at small spatio-temporal scales. {T}his methodology can therefore be used to analyse in situ their movements, and has a wide range of applications in behavioural studies and management purposes.},
