Improved estimates of orange roughy biomass using an acoustic ...

Acoustic echo integration methods to estimate fish biomass are widely used in fisheries management (Simmonds and MacLennan, 2005). These methods ...

Krill biomass estimation: Sampling and measurement variability

We use our error budget method to examine the sensitivity of biomass estimates to parameters in acoustic target strength (TS) models, length ...

Seasonal Estimates of Fish Biomass and Length Distributions Using ...

Acoustics should be viewed as a tool for making a rapid and noninvasive assessment of the temporal and spatial changes in the distribution of fish biomass ( ...

Calibration of acoustic instruments for fish density estimation

The acoustic estimation of fish biomass, as currently practiced, requires calibrated equipment. A good calibration is essential to good ...
