Modeling Statistics of Fish Patchiness and Predicting Associated Influence on Statistics of Acoustic Echoes

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS: To accurately describe the statistics of acoustic echoes due to the presence of fish, especially in the case of a long-range active sonar. Toward this goal, fundamental advances in the understanding of fish behavior, especially in aggregations, will be made under conditions relevant to the echo statistics problem. OBJECTIVES: To develop new models of behavior of fish aggregations, including the fission/fusion process, and to describe the echo statistics associated with the random fish behavior using existing formulations of echo statistics.
