In general, acoustic quantification of zooplankton such as Calanus
finmarchicus requires the use of models, among other reasons, to aid in the
interpretations of data collected on animals whose scattering properties
change with development stage, season, and other environmentally linked
factors. In conjunction with a project to determine acoustic scattering
signatures of zooplankton and fish, a study is being performed to measure
physical, morphometric, and biochemical properties of selected euphausiid
species and Calanus finmarchicus. An important feature of this study is
the performance of a suite of measurements on animals collected at the same
time and place. The measurement methods being used to study Calanus are
presented here together with results from the initial field experiment.
The criticism of interested parties is solicited.
