Entry ID: KPDC_EKD_AM_ANTAR_2011

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Acoustic survey was conducted to observe the distribution and density of zooplankton in Amundsen Sea from 2011 January 1 to January 8. Acoustic data were collected from surface to 400 m using split-beam transducers of 38 and 120 kHZ (Simard EK60 scientific echosounder) during three acoustic transects.

Purpose: Observation of the spatial distribution and density of zooplankton using the acoustic system to understand their variability in the ice region, Amundsen sea.
