  1. THE ESTIMATION OF FISH LENGTH DISTRIBUTION FROM ITS ACOUSTIC ESTIMATES USING DUAL FREQUENCY APPROACH • M. Moszynski and A.Stepnowski Gdansk University of Technology Poland

  2. ON THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTIMATING FISH LENGTH DISTRIBUTION FROM ITS TARGET STRENGTH STATISTICS Summary In the paper the problem of estimating of fish length PDF from its target strength PDF obtained from acoustic surveys is considered. As it was shown, the target strength of a single fish can be treated in the first approximation as a function of two variables: one, which depends on fish size and the other, which depends on its angular orientation (aspect). • Outline • Fish backscatter models • Tilt angle dependance • Inverse processing • Simulations • Data survey analysis

  3. Introduction (1) • Fish biomass estimation in fishery acoustics for operating frequency f : Ei = SL+RS + TSi(li, i , zi )+ 2B(i ) - TVG( Ri, α) TS = 10log BS= 20log lBS < BS > Q – biomass estimation

  5. Simple backscatter model for swimbladdered fish • Haslett, 1962 • swimbladder is approximated by a combination of: • a hemisphere, • a short cylinder, • a cone of fixed dimensions relative to the fish fork length. • then this shape is modified to: • a cylinder maintaining their geometrical cross section.

  10. Maximum Target Strength TS0

  11. Mean Target Strength <TS> • Reduced scattering length – RSL • TS = 20 log L + 20 log (RSL) • regression relationship for average target strength • ( according to the National Marine Fisheries Service): • use lecb = L/4 as in Haslett model for estimate of <lecb> • example - fish fork length: L = 31.5 cm • - from theoretical equation: • TS0( f = 38kHz) = -32dB TS0( f =120kHz) = -27dB • - from regression: • <TS>= -36dB
