摘要：

The absorption of acoustic energy in herring schools was studied by echo integration of the bottom signal under various densities of herring. The investigations were carried out in a fjord in northern Norway, where large schools of adult herring overwinter. The intensity of the bottom signal, expressed by the integrator value (reflected area in square metres per square nautical mile (m2 NM-2)) of the bottom decreased significantly as the density of herring increased. The bottom integrator value decreased exponentially from 1.39 to 0.36 x 10(6) as the area density of herring increased from 0 to 550 x 10(3), corresponding to an increase in number of herring per square metre of 0-180. A method for correction of this effect is also presented.
