The key to model-based Bayesian geoacoustic inversion is to solve the posterior probability distributions (PPDs) of parameters. In order to obtain PPDs more efficiently and accurately, the state-of-the-art Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, multiple-try differential evolution adaptive Metropolis(ZS) (MT-DREAM(ZS)), is integrated to the inverse problem because of its excellent ability to fully explore the posterior space of parameters. The effective density fluid model (EDFM), which is derived from Biot–Stoll theory to approximate the poroelastic model, and the published field measurements of backscattering strength are adopted to implement the inversion. The results show that part of the parameters can be estimated close to the measured values, and the PPDs obtained by dual-frequency inversion are more concentrated than those of single-frequency inversion because of the use of more measured backscattering strength data. Otherwise, the comparison between the predicted backscattering strength of dual-frequency inversion results and Jackson’s prediction shows that the solutions of the inverse problem are not unique and may have multiple optimal values. Indeed, the difference between the two predictions is essentially the difference in the estimation of the contribution of volume scattering to the total scattering. Nevertheless, both results are reasonable due to the lack of measurement of volume scattering parameters, and the inversion results given by the posterior probabilities based on the limited measurements and the adopted model are still considered to be reliable.
