Abstract
Measuredbackscattering spectra for preserved specimens of three zooplankters (copepod, euphausiid, sergestid shrimp) are compared to fluid sphere scattering models. Quantitative agreement is found at low k a for all species, however the copepod results are increasingly higher than predicted for k a≳1 and the euphausiid and sergestid shirmp are found to be directional scatterers. A fluid prolate spheroid model is proposed fo the latter species.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
