The effects of scattering-layer composition, animal size, and numerical density on the frequency response of volume backscatter

Creator:

Benoit-Bird, Kelly J.

Abstract:

Land-associated, sound-scattering layers of mesopelagic micronekton surround the Hawaiian Islands. These animals undergo diel migrations during which they split into multiple, distinct layers that have differences in animal density, taxonomic composition, and size. A video-camera system capable of quantitatively estimating the biological constituency of the layers was combined with a...
