    • Acoustic estimates of the Barents Sea capeling stock 1971-1976 

      Nakken, Odd; Dommasnes, Are (ICES CM documents, Working paper, 1977)
      The surveys were carried out in June and in August - October. No estimates were obtained for 0-group capelin. 1 year old capeling are grossly underestimated in June. To a lesser extent this is also the case for older ...
    • Acoustic extinction in dense herring layers, measured from a bottom-mounted transducer 

      Utne, Kjell R.; Ona, Egil (ICES CM documents, Working paper, 2006)
      Herring is often found in dense aggregations or schools, and acoustic shadowing is thus a problem in acoustic survey estimates. Knowledge of the attenuated echo intensity in herring aggregations is essential for correcting ...
    • Acoustic investigation of fish behaviour apropos avoidance reaction 

      Foote, Kenneth G. (ICES CM Documents;1981/B:21, Working paper, 1981)
    • Acoustic measurements of schooling herring. Estimation of school biomass and target strength 

      Misund, Ole Arve; Øvredal, Jan Tore (ICES CM Documents;1988/B:26, Working paper, 1988)
      The connections between reflected echo energy and dimensions of fatty herring schools were studied by a combination of multibeam sonar and a calibrated echo integration unit. A relation between the area and the biomass ...
    • Acoustic method for estimating absolute abundance of young cod and haddock in the Barents Sea 

      Dalen, John; Smedstad, Odd M. (ICES CM documents, Working paper, 1979)
    • Acoustic methods in studies of fish ecology 

      Nakken, Odd (ICES CM documents, Working paper, 1998)
      Systematic use of echo sounder in fisheries and marine science comrnenced in the 1930's and developed rapidly after World War II. During the 1950's and 1960's large scale echo surveys were carried out in many regions as a ...
    • Acoustic portrait of herring in Vestfjord, january 1996, with geostatistical analysis 

      Foote, Kenneth G.; Ostrowski, Marek (ICES CM Documents;1996/H:31, Working paper, 1996)
      In January 1996 the stock of Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus) was acoustically surveyed in the wintering area. Both immature and mature fish were present. Because of the comparative lateness of the ...
    • Acoustic properties of Salpa thompsoni. 

      Wiebe, Peter H.; Chu, Dezhang; Kaartvedt, Stein; Hundt, Anna (Hölter); Melle, Webjørn; Ona, Egil; Batta-Lona, Paola (ICES CM documents;2009 / I:01, Working paper, 2009)
      Salps are common members of the world oceans planktonic community (Madin, et.al., 2006). In the southern ocean, both krill (Euphausia superba) and salps (Salpa thompsoni) can occur in dense aggregations (Loeb et al, 2009, ...
    • Acoustic sampling volume for cod 

      Foote, Kenneth G. (ICES CM Documents;1989/B:5, Working paper, 1989)
