Computer Simulation of the Underwater Detection of Sperm Whales Using Modifications of Line Transect Theory

The underwater acoustical detection of sperm whales and the estimation of their population density in the ocean environment is simulated using QBASIC program code. The program is designed to imitate the known behavior of sperm whales and the randomness of the natural environment encountered in the f...
