L. W. Itaya However, at 600 m, D. theta of Ls < 25 mm comprise more than 70% of the total species backscattering due to the increased number of resonant fish.

(2014) recently used 38 kHz acoustic data obtained during a circumglobal voyage without accompanying trawl data to estimate the global biomass of mesopelagic fish, an estimate of great ecological importance. Our acoustic model of small mesopelagic fish is consistent with other models and ex situ measurements under similar conditions (depth, gas volume). To compound these issues, fish are not the only organisms with gas-filled organs at midwater depths. /Border [0 0 0] The effect of the differential capture efficiency assumption was to shift all abundance, biomass, and backscattering distributions towards larger fish (Figure 7). Despite high uncertainties, these estimates provide rare quantification of seasonal variations in mesopelagic biomass in the high Arctic, which can be used as a baseline from which to monitor future changes in the pelagic ecosystem.
