NOTE Conti et al ; Measurements of the total scattering spectra from Sebastes paucispinis) 



157 



rockfish of different species and sizes, fu- 

 ture measurements should be made of in- 

 dividual fish in tank volumes appropriate 

 to the size and the frequency range of the 

 fish, insuring high signal-to-noise ratios 

 and reverberation times. Because of fish 

 handling constraints and access to only a 

 single species of rockfish, it was not pos- 

 sible to do to include these measurements 

 in the present study.

Total scattering spectra Oj. normalized to one boccacio ^Sebastes 

 paucispinis), over the full frequency band, low to high frequency 

 bands (solid lines from dark to light), and one standard deviation 

 error bounds for these measurements (dashed lines). The spectra 

 were obtained after filtering the data in 20 narrow bands bins for 

 each of the three frequency bands. Theoretical predictions for a 

 90-mm-diameter rigid sphere in water (Faran, 1951; solid line from 

 to 150 kHz), showing the transition between the Rayleigh and the 

 geometric regimes.
