Signal Processing: Passive Acoustic in Fisheries and Marine Mammals



Acoustics is the science which deals with sound waves and wave propagation in a medium. Thus, marine acoustics is the study of sound waves and penjalarannya (propagation) in the medium of seawater (occurring in the water column). Marine acoustics is a marine field to detecttargets in the water column and base peairan using sound waves. With the application of marine acoustics will facilitate researchers to determine the object that is in the water column and seabed in the form of plankton, fish, content of the substrate and the ship foundered.

Marine MammalsAcoustic method used to obtain estimation of fish can use basic methods such echocounting and echo integration. Echo counting can compute density fish when the sampled volume is low, value echo of a single fish can be easily separated and computing one by one. Echo countingmethod used in rarely suspect the abundance of fish are clustered. It caused the density of fish is not homogeneous and high in general, so will cause the overlap of the echo fish. Echo of the fish that were in seabed has a stronger signal than with fish located in seabed.
