Abstract :
An acoustic Doppler current profiler is used routinely for measurements of ocean currents by physical oceanographers. The instrument relies upon acoustic backscatter from biological particles in the water and is therefore a potential source of biological data. Examples of the different types of biological data are discussed in relation to concurrent physical measurements
