TL;DR: Analytical and numerical scattering models with accompanying digital representations are used increasingly to predict acoustic backscatter by fish and zooplankton in research and ecosystem monitoring applications and, in certain cases, outperformed the numerical models under conditions where the numerical model did not converge.

TL;DR: Modelling results support a different TS-to-size relationship for Baltic herring, with a stronger echo, due to the larger swimbladder, and depth- and length-dependent TS relationships based on the model results are suggested.

TL;DR: High-resolution bathymetric data revealed the presence of a 10 m deep and 50 m in diameter pockmark on the sea bottom in the southern part of the Baltic Sea, which could have created a passage for groundwater and gas.

TL;DR: The acoustic backscattering of Baltic clupeids, herring and sprat, is explored to improve biomass estimation of these ecologically and commercially important species and improves the understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of the measured target strength of clupeid strength in the Baltic Sea.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of microphytobenthos photosynthesis on the characteristics of the echo signals reflected by sandy sediments in the typical Baltic temperature and the salinity conditions is discussed.
