Estimating the Density of Antarctic Krill ( Euphausia Superba) from Multi-Beam Echo-Sounder Observations Using Distance Sampling Methods
Summary Antarctic krill is a key species in the Antarctic food web, an important prey item for marine predators and a commercial fishery resource. Although single-beam echo-sounders are commonly used to survey the species, multi-beam echo-sounders may be more efficient because they sample a larger v...
