  abstract = {{T}his paper presents a method that permits to inter standardize three sources of acoustic data delivered by several different acoustic devices in order to monitor the behaviour of pelagic fish schools. {A}n omnidirectional multi-beam sonar (32 beams/23.75 k{H}z), a lateral multi-beam scanning sonar (60 beams/455 k{H}z) onboard a research vessel and a portable echo sounder (129 k{H}z) onboard a small craft are used. {T}he method is presented in two parts. {T}he first deals with the multi-beam acoustic sonar (lateral and omnidirectional) and the second with the portable echo sounder and the omnidirectional sonar. {T}he same schools using the portable echo sounder and the omnidirectional sonar are recorded. {T}he same experiment with the lateral sonar and the omnidirectional one is done. {T}he echo characteristics of the omnidirectional sonar data are compared with the two other sources of acoustic data. {T}he preliminary "behavioural database" of fish schools is obtained by gathering the information from the three complementary devices. {F}or each school the depth, size, two and three dimension morphology, acoustic characteristics and the swimming behaviour characteristics (swimming speed and pattern) are measured. {T}he potential output of such database for fisheries research is discussed through preliminary results.},
