Biological Conservation (2002)
Many salmon aquaculture sites in the Bay of Fundy employ acoustic harassment devices (AHDs) to deter seals from approaching fish pens. These devices may also exclude harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)…
Acoustic alarms reduce porpoise mortality
Kraus, Scott D.; Read, Andrew J.; Solow, Andrew; Baldwin, Ken; Spradlin, Trevor; Anderson, Eric; Williamson, John
Nature (1997)
The most serious danger to dolphins and porpoises around the world is the threat from various forms of gill-net fishing. One potential way to reduce the number of deaths of…
Proceedings of the International Harbour Porpoise Workshop
Bowen, D.; Brodie, P.; Conway, J.; Gearin, P.; Hammill, M.; Hood, C. C.; Kingsley, M.; Lesage, V.; Lien, J.; Metuzals, K.; Palka, D.; Potter, D.; Read, A.; Rosel, P.; Simon, P.; Stenson, G.
(2001)
Serious concerns have been raised regarding the status of the harbour porpoise populations in the North Atlantic and specifically for those inhabiting Atlantic Canadian waters. In 1991 harbour porpoise in…
Harbour porpoise movement strategy affects cumulative number of animals acoustically exposed to underwater explosions
Aarts, G.; von Benda-Beckmann, A. M.; Lucke, K.; Sertlek, H. Ö.; van Bemmelen, R.; Geelhoed, S. C. V.; Brasseur, S.; Scheidat, M.; Lam, F. P. A.; Slabbekoorn, H.; Kirkwood, R.
Marine Ecology Progress Series (2016)
Anthropogenic sound in the marine environment can have negative consequences for marine fauna. Since most sound sources are intermittent or continuous, estimating how many individuals are exposed over time remains…
Characteristics and propagation of airgun pulses in shallow water with implications for effects on small marine mammals
Hermannsen, Line; Tougaard, Jakob; Beedholm, Kristian; Nabe-Nielsen, Jacob; Madsen, Peter Teglberg
PLOS ONE (2015)
Airguns used in seismic surveys are among the most prevalent and powerful anthropogenic noise sources in marine habitats. They are designed to produce most energy below 100 Hz, but the…
Listening to echolocation clicks with PODs
Tregenza, Nick; Dawson, Steve; Rayment, Will; Verfuss, Ursula
Modern Acoustics and Signal Processing (2016)
Monitoring echolocation using SAMs—static acoustic monitors—such as T-PODs or, more recently, C-PODs—has provided a wealth of information on the fine-scale distribution and activity of dolphins, porpoises and other toothed whales.…
Cognitive control of heart rate in diving harbor porpoises
Elmegaard, Siri L.; Johnson, Mark; Madsen, Peter T.; McDonald, Birgitte I.
Current Biology (2016)
Marine mammals have adapted to forage while holding their breath in a suite of aquatic habitats from shallow rivers to deep oceans. The key to tolerate such extensive apnea is…
Comparing the performance of C-PODs and SoundTrap/PAMGUARD in detecting the acoustic activity of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Sarnocinska, Joanna; Tougaard, Jakob; Johnson, Mark; Madsen, Peter T.; Wahlberg, Magnus
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (2016)
The C-POD logger is a widely used instrument for passive acoustic monitoring of harbor porpoises, but the absence of a continuous recording in this device makes it difficult to verify…
Cetacean distribution in the southern Black Sea: An acoustic approach
Saydam, Gülce
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…
Responses of cetaceans to anthropogenic noise
Nowacek, Douglas P.; Thorne, Lesley H.; Johnston, David W.; Tyack, Peter L.
Mammal Review (2007)
1. Since the last thorough review of the effects of anthropogenic noise on cetaceans in 1995, a substantial number of research reports has been published and our ability to document…
