Abstract
It is suggested in this report that the intensity
of midwater sound-scattering in the ocean varies from
point to point as the abundance of marine life varies.
Several charts depicting variations in the abundance of
marine life are given, from which estimates of the intensity
of sound-scattering can be made.
