Abstract |
Tropical pelagic species are known to aggregate around floating objects. The objective of this project is to define specifications and develop prototypes of
Also, a model of aggregation processes will be developed for interpreting data collected by currently available down-looking sonar's mounted on buoys. Various field experiments will be conducted to assist in development of specifications for the autonomous sonar's. The new-instrumented buoys will become observatories of pelagic ecosystems. They will reduce the dependence on research vessels and represent a major advance in fisheries research and the study of pelagic organisms. |
