It may be hard to see, but there was more zooplankton over shallow water. The acoustic data shows a similar pattern. I divided our 2 transects into 20 or so 100 m intervals and estimated the volume backscattering strength (abbreviated Sv) in the top 25 m (actually 3-25 m) along each interval with the the 5 frequencies we're exploring. Each frequency had higher Svs over shallower water than deeper water. The data seem to make some sense! But note the point I labeled as goofy in the plot.
