Synthetic harbour porpoise ( Phocoena phocoena ) communication signals emitted by acoustic alerting device (Porpoise ALert, PAL) significantly reduce their bycatch in western Baltic gillnet fisheries

Gillnet fisheries are one of the main anthropogenic causes of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena L., 1758) mortality in the Baltic Sea. A new kind of acoustic alerting device (Porpoise ALert, PAL) was tested in commercial gillnet fisheries in the western Baltic. PAL emits 133 kHz synthetic harbour...
