Performance evaluation of a combined ADCP- scientific echosounder system.
International audience Echosounders are widely used to quantify fish behavior, fish stocks, and zooplankton biomass. Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers have also been used to accurately measure currents in all of the world’s major water bodies over the last 30 years. The present work evaluates the p...

International audience Echosounders are widely used to quantify fish behavior, fish stocks, and zooplankton biomass. Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers have also been used to accurately measure currents in all of the world’s major water bodies over the last 30 years. The present work evaluates the performance of a combined echosounder/ADCP system, the Nortek Signature100, for simultaneous biomass assessment and current profile data analysis. Due to its combined current profiling and scientific echosounding capabilities, the system is seeing increased usage in biomass flux applications, particularly in Antarctic krill research. However, capabilities of the system are still being studied and the present work aims to expand characterization of its performance. To that effect, a four month deployment was carried out by the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in the Mediterranean Sea with an up-looking Signature100 mounted atop the ALBATROSS mooring line.
