Three-dimensional observations of swarms of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) made using a multi-beam echosounder

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) aggregate in dense swarms. Previous investigations of krill swarms have used conventional single- or split-beam echosounders that, with post-processing, provide a two-dimensional (2-D) view of the water column, leaving the third dimension to be inferred. We used a...
