Abstract
A method is presented for the estimation of the abundances of scatterers from their backscattering spectra. It uses constrained steepest descent and gives optimal estimates in the least‐squares sense. The population distributions of fish with gas‐filled swim bladders, calculated from a set of backscattering measurements taken in the ocean near Oregon, are generally consistent with midwater‐trawl samples in the same area.
