An automatic and quantitative approach to the detection and tracking of acoustic scattering layers (supplemental code)

Creator:

Cade, David E. and Benoit-Bird, Kelly J.

Abstract:

Matlab code is included for detecting and tracking acoustic scattering layers from processed Echoview data. Acoustic scattering layers are ubiquitous, horizontally extensive aggregations of both vertebrate and invertebrate organisms that play key roles in oceanic ecosystems. However, currently there are no conventions or widely adaptable automatic methods for identifying these...

Benoit-Bird, Kelly J., Battaile, Brian C., Heppell, Scott A., Hoover, Brian, Irons, David, Jones, Nathan, Kuletz, Kathy J., Nordstrom, Chad A., Paredes, Rosana, Suryan, Robert M., Waluk, Chad M., and Trites, Andrew W.

Abstract:

Spatial coherence between predators and prey has rarely been observed in pelagic marine ecosystems. We used measures of the environment, prey abundance, prey quality, and prey distribution to explain the observed distributions of three co-occurring predator species breeding on islands in the southeastern Bering Sea: black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla), thick-billed...
