Description:Acoustic-derived estimates of fish and zooplankton numerical and biomass density rely on knowledge of the sound scattered by an individual, known as target strength (TS). An important, but difficult to measure, factor in determining TS is the tilt orientation of animals in relation to the insonifying acoustic wave. Under- water stereo-camera systems can provide in situ tilt measurements for fish and zooplankton. We describe aprotocol to remove the effects of camera pitch and roll from tilt measurements using a low-cost orientation sensor and a mathematical correction. A tank experiment indicated that tilt estimates made with corrected pitch and roll position data improved measurement accuracy as compared to those made with uncorrectedposition data. This experiment also provided empirical limits on the range of yaw values that allowed for
