Xueminghua

PhD student of fishery science, now at Shanghai Ocean University

About Me

I am a PhD student in the FSA Lab (SMART team) at Shanghai Ocean University. My research focuses on fisheries acoustics and underwater data analysis, with particular emphasis on acoustic surveys of inland and oceanic fishery resources, diel vertical migration of sound scattering layers, relationships between fish distributions and environmental conditions, and the experimental measurement and model-based estimation of fish target strength.

Research Interests

  • Fisheries acoustic survey techniques
  • Underwater data processing
  • Target strength measurement and estimation
  • Species distribution models
  • Statistical analysis of acoustic data

Education

  • PhD in Fisheries Acoustics, Shanghai Ocean University (2022 - Present)
  • Visiting PhD student in Fisheries Acoustics, Hokkaido University (2023 - 2024)
  • MSc in Fisheries Acoustics, Shanghai Ocean University (2019 - 2022)
  • BSc in Marine Science, Shanghai Ocean University (2014 - 2018)
