Backscattering spectra of preserved zooplankton

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.
