Echo abundance indices of 0-group fish in the Barents Sea, 1965-1972
In order to obtain estimates of year class strength of 0-group fish, joint international surveys have been conducted each year since 1965 in the Barents Sea. The density of fish has been estimated by visual grading of the echo-sounder paper recordings and the scattering layers have been identified b...
