Substantial recent progress has been made in directly measuring behavioral responses of
free-ranging marine mammals to sound using controlled exposure experiments. Many …

Cetaceans are aquatic mammals living in an environment that is more suited for hearing
than vision. As such, their sensory systems largely utilize acoustic cues for navigation …

Offshore activities elevate ambient sound levels at sea, which may affect marine fauna. We
reviewed the literature about impact of airgun acoustic exposure on fish in terms of damage …

Underwater sound from human activities may affect fish behaviour negatively and threaten
the stability of fish stocks. However, some fundamental understanding is still lacking for …

As part of their social sound repertoire, migrating humpback whales (Megaptera
novaeangliae) perform a large variety of surface‐active behaviors, such as breaching and …

The impact of bottom trawling noise was quantified on two surrounding marine acoustic
habitats using fixed mooring acoustic recorders. Noise during trawling activity is shown to be …

The songs produced by male humpback whales are believed to be a reproductive display
shared by all singers within the same population. Ocean noise can interfere with the …

Pygmy blue whales in the South-east Indian Ocean migrate from the southern coast of
Australia to Indonesia, with a significant part of their migration route passing through areas …

Small research vessels are often used as platforms for tagging activities to collect behavioral
data on cetaceans and they have the potential to disturb that group or individual. If this …

Abstract The UK's Joint Nature Conservation Committee 1998 guidelines for minimising
acoustic impacts from seismic surveys on marine mammals were the first of their kind …
