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 />
