Modeling and Measuring Acoustic Backscatter from Fish Aggregations

Abstract

The long-term goal of this program is to quantify, understand and predict acoustic backscatter from fish aggregations. Objectives of this project include: quantifying the relative importance of biological and physical factors that influence backscatter from fish aggregations; comparing acoustic technologies used to assess fish abundance; and to acoustically quantify size distributions, abundances, and behaviors of fish.
