Field Demonstration of a Broadband Acoustical Backscattering System Mounted on a REMUS-100 for Inferences of Zooplankton Size and Abundance

Abstract

The long term goal of this research is to develop autonomous, high-frequency broadband acoustical scattering techniques to image, classify, and quantify water-column scatterers over relevant ecological spatial and temporal scales. In order to achieve this goal, an autonomous, compact, low-power, high-frequency, broadband acoustical backscattering system suitable for use from gliders and small powered AUVs has been developed and mounted on a REMUS-100.
