Seismic airgun surveys to map petroleum deposits in the seabed may impact behaviour of marine animals over large distances. Understanding whether fish spawning behaviour is affected by this anthropogenic noise source is ...

Marine vibrators are a new technology being developed for seismic surveys. These devices can transmit continuous instead of impulsive sound and operate over a narrower frequency band and at lower peak pressure than airguns, ...

Of all animals considered subjects for instrumentation for behavioral or physiological studies, cetaceans probably represent the greatest challenge to the engineer and biologist. The marine environment being harsh to ...

Although northern bottlenose whales were the most heavily hunted beaked whale, we have little information about this species in its remote habitat of the North Atlantic Ocean. Underwater anthropogenic noise and disruption ...

Controlled exposure experiments (CEEs) have demonstrated that naval pulsed active sonar (PAS) can induce costly behavioral responses in cetaceans similar to antipredator responses. New generation continuous active sonars ...

In the project SpawnSeis MV, we aimed to study how a novel seismic source, a marine vibrator, affects behaviour and acoustic communication of wild, free ranging, spawning cod. Cod behaviour was studied by using acoustic ...
