ICES Journal of Marine Science, 53: 297–302. 1996 Lateral target strength of Antarctic krill
An area of high krill (Euphausia superba Dana) density was continuously monitored with down-looking and side-looking sonars over a period of 24 h. Measurements of volume backscattering strength were used to describe the density of krill with depth and the vertical movement of krill over time. In sit...
