Honours Thesis - University of Conneticut (2009)
Hearing is extremely important for cetaceans because it is their “principal sense” (Weilgart, 2007) thus the harbor porpoise and other marine animals are highly dependent on sound for survival. This…

The potential for reducing entanglement of dolphins and porpoises with acoustic modifications to gillnets
Dawson, S. M.
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1994)
To reduce incidental catch of cetaceans in gillnets, two forms of acoustic modifications are reviewed here; one to make gillnets more reflective to cetacean sonar, and another using active sound…
