Evidence that ship noise increases stress in right whales.
Baleen whales (Mysticeti) communicate using low-frequency acoustic signals. These long-wavelength sounds can be detected over hundreds of kilometres, potentially allowing contact over large distances. Low-frequency noise from large ships (20-200 Hz) overlaps acoustic signals used by baleen whales, and increased levels of underwater noise have been documented in areas with high shipping traffic....
متن کاملIndividual right whales call louder in increased environmental noise.
The ability to modify vocalizations to compensate for environmental noise is critical for successful communication in a dynamic acoustic environment. Many marine species rely on sound for vital life functions including communication, navigation and feeding. The impacts of significant increases in ocean noise levels from human activities are a current area of concern for the conservation of mari...
متن کاملRight rare whales
The collapse of the International Whaling Commission's discussions on the resumption of limited commercial whaling only highlights the pressure that still exists on these species. And new evidence from a survey of one population reveals how perilous it is, even after the 24-year moratorium on commercial whaling. The North Pacific right whale was the subject of hunting in the gulf of Alaska from...
متن کاملShip noise extends to frequencies used for echolocation by endangered killer whales.
Combining calibrated hydrophone measurements with vessel location data from the Automatic Identification System, we estimate underwater sound pressure levels for 1,582 unique ships that transited the core critical habitat of the endangered Southern Resident killer whales during 28 months between March, 2011, and October, 2013. Median received spectrum levels of noise from 2,809 isolated transit...
