A detecting module 171 detects fish based on the received reception signal and detection information is stored in a detection result memory 172. An image processor 18 reads an echo image generated before the at least one echo image from the echo image memory, changes the echo image to output and superimposes the corresponding detection result on the changed echo image in response to the instruction. The fish finder may further comprise a display unit 19 and a positional information detector. The operation receiver may receive a specifying operation of a geographical position and the image processor can then change the echo image according to the specified geographical position.
