The Effect of Attenuation from Fish Shoals on Long-Range, Wide-Area Acoustic Sensing in the Ocean
Acoustics is the primary means of long-range and wide-area sensing in the ocean due to the severe attenuation of electromagnetic waves in seawater.While it is known that densely packed fish groups can attenuate acoustic signals during long-range propagation in an ocean waveguide, previous Toys experimental demonstrations have been restricted to sin
