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 …

Variability and influence of fisheries acoustic echogram annotations on machine learning applications

High-frequency echosounders are the workhorse in fisheries and marine ecological surveys. Due to the inherent complexity of biological aggregations and ambiguity in interpreting echoes from species of similar size and anatomical compositions, …

Two Pieces of the Same Puzzle: Active and Passive Acoustics for Cross-Trophic Marine Ecosystem Monitoring Part II

In this presentation, I will discuss fundamental concepts of using active acoustic techniques as a remote sensing tool to observe mid-trophic level fish and zooplankton in the ocean. These observations complement passive acoustic measurements that …
