Using underwater Sound to Provide Information on the Behavior of Foraging Baleen Whales, Deep-Sea (1000 m, Gulf of Mexico) and Shallow-Bay (1 m, Long Island Estuaries) Fish, and the Sounds of Jamaican Reef Fishes
Active and passive acoustics can provide high-resolution (in both space and time) data about marine ecosystems. However, converting acoustic data from volts and dBs to units that are important to an ecosystem (number of fish, vertical distribution, diurnal behavior) can be a challenging endeavour. T...
