Effect of orientation on broadband acoustic scattering of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba: implications for inverting zooplankton spectral acoustic signatures for angle of orientation
and video footage from several Antarctic krill were carried out to determine the effect of animal ... incidence relative to the incident acoustic wave exhibited widely spaced, deep nulls, whereas off-broadside ... echo spectra had a more erratic structure, with several closely spaced nulls of variable depth. The ... pattern of changes in echo spectra with orientation for the experimentally measured acoustic returns was ...
