Acoustic characterization of Mysis relicta

Article Abstract:

Acoustic techniques can be applied to increase the sampling resolution and the available information of zooplankton populations. Knowing an organism's acoustic target strength (TS) is essential for translating acoustic data into meaningful information. To evaluate the acoustic TS of Mysis relicta, several approaches were used, including in situ TS data and acoustic-based estimates of numerical abundance of mysids.

The impact of population abundance on the deposit-feeding rate of a cosmopolitan polychaete worm

Article Abstract:

The article examines the influence of the animal abundance on the deposit-feeding rate of the worm Mediomastus ambiseta. Results indicate that reduction in individual ingestion rate corresponds with increasing population abundance.
