متن کاملComparison between visual and passive acoustic detection of finless porpoises in the Yangtze River, China.
Recently, sonar signals and other sounds produced by cetaceans have been used for acoustic detection of individuals and groups in the wild. However, the detection probability ascertained by concomitant visual survey has not been demonstrated extensively. The finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) have narrow band and high-frequency sonar signals, which are distinctive from background nois...

Underwater ultrasonic sound of finless porpoises Neophocaena phocaenoides were monitored concurrent with visual observations in the Yangtze River, China. In a total of a 774 km cruise, 588 finless porpoises were sighted by visual observation and 44,864 ultrasonic pulses were recorded. The acoustic monitoring system could detect presence of the finless porpoises 82% of the time. False alarms in ...
