| Summary |
"The new edition of this widely acclaimed book has been extensively revised and extended to cover the many technological developments which have occurred since the first edition. The development of more sophisticated sonar and computer processing equipment offers great new opportunities. Fisheries Acoustics provides the reader with a contemporary understanding of how to interpret acoustic observations and put them to practical use." "This book is commended to fisheries scientists, fisheries oceanographers, environmental biologists, ecologists, population biologists, fish biologists and marine biologists as a vital tool for all those involved in the design and use of acoustic equipment for biological aquatic studies. Libraries in research establishments, government stations and universities where fisheries science is studied or taught will find it a welcome addition to their shelves."--BOOK JACKET |
