Abstract The acoustic characteristics of biological backscattering in the western North Pacific were studied to verify expert knowledge on species composition in the echosigns. The survey was conducted in the Kuroshio‐Oyashio inter‐frontal zone and the subarctic waters in April 2003. The species com...
