Sounds produced by individual white whales, Delphinapterus from Svalbard during capture
Recordings were made of the sounds produced by white whales during capture events inStorfjorden, Svalbard, in the late autumn. Only four of eight captured individuals produced sounds.Four subadults, one female and three males, between 330 and 375 cm long, did not produce soundsduring handling. The f...
