Dolpins Swimming in Sound-Scattering Layer

Caption

This sonar data collected by an autonomous underwater vehicle shows animals within a sound-scattering layer. The different colors indicate sound intensity and indicate two distinct aggregations or schools (likely squid to the left and fish on the right), as well as two dolphins swimming within one of the aggregations.
