Impact of Sparse Benthic Life on Seafloor Roughness and High-Frequency Acoustic Scatter

Impact of Sparse Benthic Life on Seafloor Roughness and High-Frequency Acoustic Scatter

Quantitative acoustic marine habitat mapping needs to consider the impact of macrobenthic organisms on backscatter data. However, the sensitivity of hydroacoustic systems to epibenthic life is poorly constrained. This study explores the impact of a benthic community with sparse abundance on seafloor...
