Answer: reflection

Explanation:

SONAR - Sound Navigation and Ranging

It works on the principle of Echo i.e. the reflection of sound. Sound waves are sent out which get bounced off a nearby object. The reflected sound waves is detected and distance to the object is estimated. Sonar is used to detect, navigate or communicate objects underwater. Thus, a fishing boat uses sonar to locate the fish. It is employing reflection.
