Knowledge of the acoustic target strength (TS) of capelin, Mallotus villosus (Müller), is important to scale integrator outputs for use in acoustic surveys, but experimental measurements of capelin TS are scarce. This paper reports a new ex situ experiment on capelin TS. Small groups of the fish wer...
