Abstract
Are acoustic methods, used for zooplankton studies, appropriate to phy toplankton biomass estimation ? In order to evaluate the phytoplankton ic contribution on acoustic data, we have studied scattering, attenuat ion, and sound velocity through a unicellular phytoplanktonic cloud of Dunaliella tertiolecta. Here are presented the results obtained in vi tro and a summary of those found in literature. The acoustic detection of phytoplankton in the sea is not applicable today.
