Active acoustic detection of fish and zooplankton along bathymetric features of the New York Bight

The Hudson Canyon, located along the shelfbreak of the New York Bight (NYB), has been characterized as a “biological hotspot” that attracts organisms ranging from zooplankton to marine mammals. Since 2017, seasonal surveys have collected …

Echopop: An open-source software package for acoustics-based population estimates and biological inversion.

Acoustic-trawl surveys provide estimates of biological distributions that can inform stock assessments and other ecosystem-based management strategies. These measurements can also derive other biometrics (e.g. average body length) and behavioral …

Interoperable and scalable echosounder data processing with Echopype

Echostack: An open-source Python software toolbox that democratizes water column sonar dataand processing

Water column sonar data collected by echosounders are essential for marine ecosystem research, allowing the detection, classifi cation, and quantification of fish and zooplankton from many different ocean observing platforms. However, broad usage of …
