Sascha F??ssler

I am a fisheries acoustics scientist interested in monitoring of the pelagic ecosystem using hydroacoustic techniques. My PhD was looking at the sound reflection properties of herring, but the methods can be applied to organisms as small as zooplankton, to fish and higher order predators and marine mammals.

During the expedition I will be involved in a multidisciplinary investigation of the pelagic habitat. While colleagues collect abundance information on mammals, birds and plankton, I will collect acoustic data on fish & plankton abundance and distribution.
