Acoustic methods used to quantify the shoaling dynamics of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) during their shoreward migration across the northeast Newfoundland shelf (spring 1992) showed that shoal structure and horizontal displacement were associated with the density distribution of small pelagic scatter...
