Modeling of Acoustic Scattering by Swimbladdered Fish Using the Boundary-Element Method

Abstract

The long-range scientific goals are (1) to understand the basic physics of acoustic scattering by fish targets, and (2) to apply forthcoming knowledge over a broad frequency range in order to be able to differentiate fish from non-fish targets.
