FINAL REPORT Predicting Natural Neuroprotection in Marine Mammals: Environmental and Biological Factors Affecting the Vulnerability To Acoustically Mediated Tissue Trauma In Marine Species
نویسنده
چکیده
The primary goal of these studies was to investigate the relative vulnerability of marine mammals to acoustically mediated trauma from emboli formation. By evaluating key environmental, behavioral and physiological factors, we have been able to identify drivers influencing the dive response of cetaceans and pinnipeds, and the potential risk for tissue damage at depth. The results of this project are currently being used to develop environmentally sensitive schedules for oceanic acoustic activities that take into account the underlying biological mechanisms that control physiological homeostasis in deep and shallow diving marine mammals.

متن کاملThe impacts of anthropogenic sound on marine mammals in the Persian Gulf; current status and need for future research
Abstract Sound generating human activities so-called “anthropogenic sound” have increased ambient sound levels considerably in aquatic habitats that are markedly diverse in time and space. Sound generating human activities is now recognized as a potential driver of environmental changes in marine habitats. Iran has 750 km coastline along the Caspian Sea located in the north and around 2250 km ...
