| Abstract | "BobberOne" is a low-cost, portable float that will use acoustic sensing to detect regionally important zooplankton, fish, and marine mammals in near real-time. Physical processes such as currents and turbulence transport phytoplankton and small zooplankton, influencing the distributions of larger zooplankton, fish, and higher-level predators. Predation pressure, in turn, drives prey avoidance behaviors that collectively create large area movement patterns at regional and global scales. Acoustic |
