Scoring of the severity of sperm whale behavioral responses to pulsed and continuous active sonar signals

Proceeding of WMMC 2019, BARCELONE, ESPAGNE, 07-/12/2019 - 12/12/2019 This study investigates how naval sonar affects sperm whales' behavior. In previous work, we showed that controlled exposure experiments (CEEs) of 1-2 kHz pulsed active sonar (PAS) induced costly behavioral responses in whale...

Description
Summary:Proceeding of WMMC 2019, BARCELONE, ESPAGNE, 07-/12/2019 - 12/12/2019 This study investigates how naval sonar affects sperm whales' behavior. In previous work, we showed that controlled exposure experiments (CEEs) of 1-2 kHz pulsed active sonar (PAS) induced costly behavioral responses in whales (e.g. cessation of feeding), similar to anti-predator responses.
