Modeling and Measuring Fish Backscatter at Multiple Frequencies
Abstract
The long-term goal of this program is to quantify, understand and predict acoustic backscatter from fish. Objectives of this project include: quantifying the relative importance of biological and physical factors that influence variability in backscatter amplitudes; comparing backscatter measures to predicted amplitudes from anatomically-based scattering models; examining the application of sonar technologies to the enumeration and discrimination of acoustic targets; and acoustically quantifying size distributions, abundances, and behaviors of fish.
