Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing (OAWRS) has recently been shown to be
capable of instantaneously imaging and continuously monitoring fish populations over continental
shelf-scale areas, covering thousands of km2. We show how OAWRS can be used in a variety of
oceanic ecosystems to remotely assess populations and study the behavior of fish and other marine
organisms, such as Antarctic krill, to help the study of marine ecology and the ecosystem-based
approach to fisheries management.
