Abstract
The target strengths of marine zooplankton are often predicted from fluid sphere scattering models. These models require estimation of certain physical properties of the individual zooplankters: radius of the equivalent sphere, mass density, and either sound speed or compressibility. This report summarizes previously published measurements of these parameters and recent, unpublished data.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
