Description:
Acoustic backscatter data were collected at five frequencies (18, 38, 70, 120 and 200 kHz) across two visits to site P3 (P3A, P3B), South Georgia, aboard the RRS Discovery during DY086. Acoustic backscatter was measured with a Simrad EK60. The data consistently shows no evidence of synchronised diel vertical migration (Cook et al. 2023).
