INTRODUCTION
Euphausia pacifica and Neocalanus copepods are the main components of the zooplankton.
In the Doto area Hokkaido, walleye pollock prey especially heavily on E. pacifica.
Acoustical methods are very useful for estimating the abundance and spatial distribution patterns of fish and zooplankton.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
acoustic data collection
• EK500, SIMRAD, Norway
• at two frequencies (38 and 120 kHz).
• A total of 19 parallel transect lines perpendicular to the isobathswere (A~S) set at 8-nauticalmile intervals.
• sea depths range : 50 ~ 500 m
• ship speed : 8 knots

Theoretical scattering mode
ae :the equivalent sphere radius (ESR)
k : the wave number in water
TS : target strength 單體標物反射強度
Sv : volume back scattering strength 體積散亂反射強度
LH : body height LW : body width (a zooplankter)
L : total body length
g : density contrast h : sound speed contrast
Values of g and h were taken from Mikami et al. (2000) (g =1.030, h =1.034)
以水平距離 0.005 海哩 , 深度 1m 為一積分單位 ( 網狀方格 )
其中每積分單位以 Sv120KHz - Sv38KHz = ΔSv 可用來推演對象生物之等價求半徑 , 再與浮游生物網樣

當兩頻率任一小於 -75dB 時 , 假定為 no echo
皆大於 -75dB 時需去除背景雜音獲得對象生物聲探資料
Sv difference method (ΔSv)
sv is the linear value of SVn : biomass density
Sv, which depends on the frequency because the TS is frequency dependent, can be written as follows:
Fish samples (mainly walleye pollock)
bottom trawls (19)
mid-water trawls (10)
Zooplankton samples bongo nets (BN 01~07)

Table 2. Summary of the zooplankton compositions in the bongo net samples.
Copepods (>50% Neocalanus copepods) and krill (>70% E. pacifica) were predominant based on both number and wet weight .
bongo nets samples
For Neocalanus copepods, there was one size class with a mean total body length of 2.0 mm (SD =±1.1, N =1044080).
For E. pacifica, there were two size classes with mean total body lengths of 6.1 mm (SD =±2.2, N =13 099) and 15.4 mm (SD =±3.6 , N =7628).
The mean ESRs of E. pacifica were 1.0 mm (SD =±0.3, N =13 099) and 2.8 mm (SD =±0.9 , N =7628),
The mean ESR of Neocalanus copepods was 0.5 mm (SD =±0.3, N =1044080)
The ESR distribution of small E. pacifica is similar to that ofNeocalanus copepods.
the ESR distribution of Neocalanus copepods and E. pacifica calculated from Eqn (3).
These ΔSv ranges of the small E. pacifica + Neocalanus copepods and large E. pacifica were estimated from ESRs and Eqn (6).
• small:19.0 dB < ΔSv < 21.0 dB
• large: 8.0 dB < ΔSv < 16.0 dB
ΔSv
The large size class was distributed mainly in the eastern part of the survey area (Line A–K, depth range: 150–200 m).
The small size class was distributed mainly in the western part of survey area (Line F, and Line I to Line S; depth range: 50–150 m).
Both small andlarge walleye pollock were distributed in the middlepart of the survey area (Line F, and Line I–K).
