he goal of this study is to reveal the spatial variation of biological backscatter and the distributions of fish (assumed Arctic cod) and zooplankton (assumed euphausiids/krill or large copepods) in a region of the Beaufort Shelf known for intense upwelling. Data were collected during two cruises to...
