Benthopelagic animals are an important component of the deep-sea ecosystem, yet are
notoriously difficult to study. Multibeam echosounders (MBES) deployed on autonomous
underwater vehicles (AUVs) represent a promising technology for monitoring this elusive
fauna at relatively high spatial and temporal resolution. However, application of this remote-
sensing technology to the study of small (relative to the sampling resolution), dispersed and
mobile animals at depth does not come without significant challenges with respect to data …
