Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing (OAWRS) of Marine Ecosystems

Abstract

Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing (OAWRS) has recently been shown to becapable of instantaneously imaging and continuously monitoring fish populations over continentalshelf-scale areas, covering thousands of km2. We show how OAWRS can be used in a variety ofoceanic ecosystems to remotely assess populations and study the behavior of fish and other marineorganisms, such as Antarctic krill, to help the study of marine ecology and the ecosystem-basedapproach to fisheries management.
