sonars and strandings: Are beaked Whales the Aquatic Acoustic Canary?
Introduction On the morning of 15 March, 2000, phones began ringing in Washington, Virginia, and Massachusetts. Emails flew between the USA and the Bahamas. The event behind these communications was a mass stranding of beaked whales (Ziphiidae) in the northern Bahamas extending from Grand Bahama to the tip of Abaco (Evans and England, 2001). Over two days, 17 whales were reported on shore, of w...
متن کاملImpacts of Navy Sonar on Whales and Dolphins: Now beyond a Smoking Gun?
The risks military sonar poses to cetaceans received international attention with a highly-publicized mass stranding of Cuvier’s beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris), Blainville’s beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris), and northern minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in the Bahamas in 2000. This was the first time that the US Government determined a stranding to be the result of mid-freq...
متن کاملEvidence for the initiation of decompression sickness by
21 Mass stranding of cetaceans (whales and dolphins), in close association with the 22 activity of naval sonar systems, has been reported on numerous occasions. Necropsy 23 showed bubble-associated lesions similar to those described in human decompression 24 sickness (DCS). We examined the hypothesis that exposure to underwater sound may 25 potentiate DCS. Rats were subjected to immersion and s...
متن کاملCorrection: A Risk Function for Behavioral Disruption of Blainville’s Beaked Whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) from Mid-Frequency Active Sonar
There is increasing concern about the potential effects of noise pollution on marine life in the world's oceans. For marine mammals, anthropogenic sounds may cause behavioral disruption, and this can be quantified using a risk function that relates sound exposure to a measured behavioral response. Beaked whales are a taxon of deep diving whales that may be particularly susceptible to naval sona...
متن کاملFirst direct measurements of behavioural responses by Cuvier's beaked whales to mid-frequency active sonar
Most marine mammal- strandings coincident with naval sonar exercises have involved Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris). We recorded animal movement and acoustic data on two tagged Ziphius and obtained the first direct measurements of behavioural responses of this species to mid-frequency active (MFA) sonar signals. Each recording included a 30-min playback (one 1.6-s simulated MFA sona...
