Hi Jacqueline,
Regarding your query of Can anyone direct me to researchers (US and abroad) who are working on:
1) use of acoustic signals to assess fish populations 2) swim bladders as acoustic targets 3) swim bladder structure-function relationships and sound reception
Chuck Wilson and Dave Stanley at LSU have been quite successful employing acoustics to assess fish populations, specifically using their swim bladders as targets. I do not have their contact info handy, but you can track down Chuck Wilson through LSU's fisheries and oceanography program on the web. Also, Wilson and Stanley have a nice paper published in a special issue on artificial reefs in the journal "Gulf of Mexico Science" vol 16 (1) 1998.
Cheers,
