    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.

      Differences between sound scattering by weakly scattering spheres and finite-length cylinders with applications to sound scattering by zooplankton 

      Stanton, Timothy K.; Wiebe, Peter H.; Chu, Dezhang (Acoustical Society of America, 1998-01)
      A modeling study was conducted to determine the conditions under which fluidlike zooplankton of the same volume but different shapes (spherical/cylindrical) have similar or dramatically different scattering properties. ...

      Ray representation of sound scattering by weakly scattering deformed fluid cylinders : simple physics and application to zooplankton 

      Stanton, Timothy K.; Clay, Clarence S.; Chu, Dezhang (Acoustical Society of America, 1993-12)
      Data indicate that certain important types of marine organisms behave acoustically like weakly scattering fluid bodies (i.e., their material properties appear fluidlike and similar to those of the surrounding fluid medium). ...

      Sound scattering by several zooplankton groups. II. Scattering models 

      Stanton, Timothy K.; Chu, Dezhang; Wiebe, Peter H. (Acoustical Society of America, 1998-01)
      Mathematical scattering models are derived and compared with data from zooplankton from several gross anatomical groups—fluidlike, elastic shelled, and gas bearing. The models are based upon the acoustically inferred ...
