Results from the MEESO project has been published in Frontiers for Young Minds.
A new article published in Frontiers for Young Minds brings the acoustic research carried out within MEESO to life for the next generation of scientists.
The article was ‘reviewed’ by two groups of children before publication, so the authors had to clearly explain how scientists use sound to count fish in the deep sea. The MEESO authors further explain why mesopelagic acoustic fisheries surveys are important for the sustainable management of our seas.
The publication is a result of an interdisciplinary collaboration between social and natural scientists in the Marine Institute and Wageningen Research and University.
