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
(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
(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 rough elongated elastic objects. I: Means of scattered field
(Acoustical Society of America, 1992-09)By use of the recently published deformed cylinder formulation [T. K. Stanton, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 86, 691–705 (1989)], the scattered field due to rough elongated dense elastic objects is derived. The (one-dimensional) ...
