Book Description
Bioacoustic studies of aquatic animals are of increased interest to the sonar community. To economize on costly expeditions, speed up data input, and provide more experimental control, artificial enclosures are often used in work of this nature. The purposes of the work were: determine the salient acoustic characteristics of water-filled tanks typically used in bioacoustic applications, especially factors associated with sound pressure minima (MSPL); evaluate their possible effects on bioacoustic projects involving animal sound production and reception; recommend remedial measures.

Marine Mammals and Noise
Author: W. John Richardson
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0080573037
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 593
Book Description
Many marine mammals communicate by emitting sounds that pass through water. Such sounds can be received across great distances and can influence the behavior of these undersea creatures. In the past few decades, the oceans have become increasingly noisy, as underwater sounds from propellers, sonars, and other human activities make it difficult for marine mammals to communicate. This book discusses, among many other topics, just how well marine mammals hear, how noisy the oceans have become, and what effects these new sounds have on marine mammals. The baseline of ambient noise, the sounds produced by machines and mammals, the sensitivity of marine mammal hearing, and the reactions of marine mammals are also examined. An essential addition to any marine biologist's library, Marine Mammals and Noise will be especially appealing to marine mammalogists, researchers, policy makers and regulators, and marine biologists and oceanographers using sound in their research.
