• A method to automatically detect fish aggregations using horizontally scanning sonar 

      Vatnehol, Sindre; Pena, Hector; Handegard, Nils Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Pelagic fishes are a major source of protein and unsaturated fatty acids, and robust management is critical to avoid overfishing. Fisheries management is often supported by indices from scientific acoustic-trawl surveys, ...
