There are great quantities of natural gas hydrate beneath seawater, which are giant resources potentially and capable of damaging environment; and special species is also discovered in related area. So, the detection and quantification of an underwater gas release are becoming increasingly important for oceanographic and industrial applications. According to the characters of acoustic attenuation when acoustic wave propagates through bubbles, detection of different flow rate of bubbles was conducted, and result of the relation of bubbles flow rate and acoustic attenuation was presented. In addition, the rising velocity of bubbles was estimated using the relate flow method of two signals received at different depths. Then, the flux of bubbles was inversed by acoustic signal, and the bubble distribution was calculated by the rising velocity and flux, which provided a new method for detection and quantification of undersea bubbles.
