These acoustic methods are now expected to be useful for the long-range remote sensing of schools of fish as well as for distant ocean bottom characterizations.
Scientists have only rudimentary capabilities when it comes to characterizing distant ocean floors.
We know there are useful methods, so this goes against "rudimentary capabilities". The model probably does not understand what is meant by "rudimentary capabilities".
