Plankton in a patchy ocean landscape: using active acoustic sampling to explore pelagic ecosystem function and animal behaviour

The open ocean is heterogeneous in space and time. This patchiness has implications across many, if not all, trophic levels - and for fisheries. I will give some examples of our application of acoustic sampling to explore distribution and abundance and behaviour of various animal taxa - from crustaceans to jellyfish - in several marine ecosystems - from the tropics to the poles.
