Master's Thesis - Middle East Technical University (2015)
Large numbers of small cetaceans (common dolphin, harbor porpoises and bottlenose dolphins) were hunted in the Black Sea until the hunting of cetaceans was banned in Turkey in 1983. Even…
Passive acoustic methods for fine-scale tracking of harbour porpoises in tidal rapids
Macaulay, Jamie; Gordon, Jonathan; Gillespie, Douglas; Malinka, Chloë; Northridge, Simon
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (2017)
The growing interest in generating electrical power from tidal currents using tidal turbine generators raises a number of environmental concerns, including the risk that marine mammals might be injured or…
Long-term effectiveness of pingers on a small population of finless porpoises in Japan
Amano, M.; Kusumoto, M.; Abe, M.; Akamatsu, T.
Endangered Species Research (2017)
Finless porpoises Neophocaena spp. are under pressure from various anthropogenic impacts due to their coastal habitat. Net fishery bycatch is considered a major risk for the populations around Japan, and…
Studying the biosonar of bats and porpoises using multi receiver arrays
Koblitz, Jens C.
Doctoral Thesis - Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (2014)
Echolocation, the main sensory modality of odontocetes and microbats, has mostly been studied using single receivers. Such a recording setup is sufficient to study signal parameters like pulse interval, inter…
Harbour Porpoises on Horns Reef – Effects of the Horns Reef Wind Farm (Final Report)
Tougaard, Jakob; Carstensen, Jacob; Wisz, Mary S.; Jespersen, Martin; Teilmann, Jonas; Ilsted Bech, Nikolaj; Skov, Henrik
NERI Technical Report to Vattenfall A/S (2006)
The monitoring program on harbour porpoises at Horns Rev Offshore Wind Farm in the Danish North Sea, initiated in 1999, has now come to an end with collection of final…
Meals on wheels? A decade of megafaunal visual and acoustic observations from offshore oil & gas rigs and platforms in the North and Irish Seas
Todd, Victoria Louise Georgia; Warley, Jane Clare; Todd, Ian Boyer
PLOS ONE (2016)
A decade of visual and acoustic detections of marine megafauna around offshore Oil & Gas (O&G) installations in the North and Irish Seas are presented. Marine megafauna activity was monitored…
Responses of bottlenose dolphins and harbor porpoises to impact and vibration piling noise during harbor construction
Graham, Isla M.; Pirotta, Enrico; Merchant, Nathan D.; Farcas, Adrian; Barton, Tim R.; Cheney, Barbara; Hastie, Gordon D.; Thompson, Paul M.
Ecosphere (2017)
The development of risk assessments for the exposure of protected populations to noise from coastal construction is constrained by uncertainty over the nature and extent of marine mammal responses to…
Year-round spatiotemporal distribution of harbour porpoises within and around the Maryland wind energy area
Wingfield, Jessica E.; O’Brien, Michael; Lyubchich, Vyacheslav; Roberts, Jason J.; Halpin, Patrick N.; Rice, Aaron N.; Bailey, Helen
PLOS ONE (2017)
Offshore windfarms provide renewable energy, but activities during the construction phase can affect marine mammals. To understand how the construction of an offshore windfarm in the Maryland Wind Energy Area…
Diurnal variation in harbour porpoise detection – Potential implications for management
Williamson, L. D.; Brookes, K. L.; Scott, B. E.; Graham, I. M.; Thompson, P. M.
Marine Ecology Progress Series (2017)
Robust information on animal distributions and foraging behaviour is required to target management and conservation measures for protected species and populations. Visual survey data are commonly used to model these…
Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) static acoustic monitoring: Laboratory detection thresholds of T-PODs are reflected in field sensitivity
Kyhn, Line A.; Tougaard, Jakob; Teilmann, Jonas; Wahlberg, Magnus; Jørgensen, Poul B.; Bech, Nikolaj I.
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (2008)
The T-POD (Timing POrpoise Detector) is a self-contained acoustic data logger used for detecting and monitoring the presence of echolocation clicks of small cetaceans. It has become a standard tool…
