Behavior and frequency analysis of Aurelia aurita by using in situ target strength at a port in southwestern Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was carried out to determine the in situ target strength and behavioral characteristics of moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) using two frequencies (38 and 120 kHz) that present a 2- frequency-difference method for distinguishing A. aurita from other marine planktonic organisms. The average TS was shown as -71.9~ -67.9 dB at 38 kHz and -75.5~-66.0 dB at 120 kHz and the average ΔMVBS120-38 kHz was similar at -1.5~3.5 dB. The TS values varied in a range of about 14 dB from -83.3 and -69.0 dB depending on the pulsation of A. aurita. The species moved in a range of -0.1~1.0 m and they mostly moved horizontally with moving speeds of 0.3~0.6 m·s-1. The TS and behavioral characteristics of A. aurita can distinguish the species from others. The acoustic technology can also contribute to understanding the distribution and abundance of the species.
