This program will automatically calibrate th e<br />
integration program to absolute density, thu s<br />
eliminating the time-consuming echo countin g<br />
procedure . The data on target strength distribution,<br />
compared with the data from ne t<br />
sampling, will provide information on the precision<br />
and reliability which can be obtaine d<br />
from acoustic determination of size .<br />
