A fish detection sonar is provided wherein a receiver has a display device comprising a rotary disk having a display element mounted thereupon, and a scale disk disposed coaxially of and in opposed relation with the rotary disk; the ultrasonic signal transmitted from a transmitter into the sea is immediately received by the receiver so that the display element may be turned on or energized in response to the level of the received signal, thereby displaying the surface of the sea; and the receiver receives the ultrasonic sound reflected by the targets so that the display element may be turned on in response to the level of the reflected signal; a color display device wherein a plurality of display elements capable of emitting light in different colors when energized are mounted upon the rotary disk, and the ultrasonic signals received by the receiver are divided into a plurality of groups depending upon the levels of the received signals, each level being assigned to each of the display elements, so that the targets such as the surface and bottom of the sea and schools of fish detected may be displayed in different colors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The primary object of the present invention is therefore to provide a color display device for a fish detection sonar capable of displaying in different colors various targets such as the surface and bottom of the sea and schools of fish detected to avoid the misinterpretation of the targets.
Briefly stated, according to the present invention, a plurality of display elements such as light-emitting diodes capable of emitting light in different colors when energized are mounted upon a rotary disk of the flasher type display device of the type described above and are energized or turned on independently or in combination depending upon the target intensity, the received signals being divided depending upon the target intensity, so that various targets such as the surface and bottom of the sea and detected schools of fish may be displayed in different colors.
