Hello,
My name is Tania Siemens and I am studying the way in which fish habitat is
changed by an invasive aquatic weed in a mangrove lagoon in the Galapagos
Islands. I would like to use acoustics to characterize the vertical
structure of habitat. I think it might be possible to lower a sideways
looking (small) acoustic device and record the images, which would function
as a index of habitat
structure. This way I could quantitatively compare this habitat structure
(heterogeneity vs. homogeneity) to invaded (grass) and non invaded
(mangroves) sites.
Do you know of any such acoustic devise that might work for me? Can you
refer me to someone who has done a similar study or might be able to give
me some direction?
Thank you,
Tania Siemens
