Development and testing of bioacoustical
models of zooplankton and
micronekton and quantitative characterization of the frequency
dependence of acoustic backscattering from zooplankton and micronekton
(continuing work with T. Stanton sponsored by ONR and NSF) Participation in U.S.
GLOBEC Georges Bank Program in general and participation in U.S.
GLOBEC Georges Bank Program sampling in the Gulf of Maine during the
fall of 1999 (with Chuck Greene, Cornell Univ and Mark Benfield, LSU). Participation in a NURP sponsored program
"Estimating the in situ
acoustic target strength distribution and abundance of diapausing Calanus
firmarchicus and its invertebrate predators in the deep basins of
the Gulf of Maine" (with Mark Benfield, Tim Stanton, and Chuck Greene) Development and use of a system to measure
the material properties
of
zooplankton (with Dezhung Chu). Acquisition of a motion compensated
winch/slack tensioning system,
and instrumented sheave for use with BIOMAPER II (with Tim Stanton) Silhouette

DIGITIZER is a MATLAB-based computer
program for measuring the
lengths of marine organisms collected by MOCNESS (Multiple
Opening/Closing Net
and Environmental Sensing System). Click to see a slide show of how our lab
measures Displacement
Volume of plankton samples.
DIGITIZER begins by displaying a scanned photographic image of
a seawater slurry containing large numbers of marine organisms, upon
which is superimposed a reference grid. DIGITIZER then allows you to
measure the organisms' lengths using the cursor on the computer screen.
DIGITIZER automatically calculates each organism’s biomass and
generates spreadsheet compatible output listings of basic statistics
derived from the data. Text files of length, weight and size-frequency
histograms are also produced
