Abstract
null null Conventional ship-mounted vertically-oriented echosounders are poor at detecting organisms that are close to the sea surface. In contrast, omni-directional sonars can ensonify these near-surface waters unavailable to hull-mounted echosounders. If calibrated, sonars can provide quantitative biomass estimates of pelagic aggregations. However, for sonars that have not been designed as scientific and research instruments, the...
