METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USE IN MARINE SEISMIC DATA GATHERING ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus for use in marine seismic data gathering are described. A vessel is provided with means for deploying and retrieving trailer cables tows a plurality of cables which are provided with at least one array of transmitters , which array constitutes a point source for a transmitter, and an acoustic cable, over the region to be investigated. The transmitter cables are caused to become distributed laterally in relation to the tow direction, the distance between them, the firing power and firing timing being controlled from the vessel in accordance with data collected previously regarding the nature of the sea bed. The point source-formed transmitter arrays can be distributed both laterally and longitudinally in relation to the tow direction. The transmitter cables are distributed laterally with the aid of otterboard means .
