Description: Acoustic target strength (TS) represents the intensity of
        an echo returning from an individual scatterer such as bubbles,
        fish, or zooplankton. TS can be used to convert integrated or
        volumetric backscatter collected from fisheries acoustic
        surveys into units of number density (e.g. animals per m^3),
        abundance (e.g. number of animals), and biomass (e.g. kg). This
        parameter can also be used to aid in classifying backscatter,
        such as separating likely echoes of large predatory fish (e.g.
        adult cod) from smaller prey (e.g. shrimp). One way to estimate
        TS is to use physics-based models to calculate theoretical TS
        that comprise exact and approximate solutions as well as
        analytical approaches. The models provided can help provide TS
        estimates over broad statistical distributions of model
        parameters. Applications are described by Lucca et al. (2023)
        <doi:10.1121/10.0022459>, with fisheries-acoustics principles
        from Simmonds and MacLennan (2005) <doi:10.1002/9780470995303>.
