Changes in dive behavior during sonar exposure in killer whales, pilot whales and sperm whales.
Doksæter, Lise Henriksen; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Fahlman, Andreas; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Tyack, Peter L.; Miller, Patrick J.O. (2012)Anthropogenic underwater sound in the environment might potentially affect the behavior of marine mammals enough to have an impact on their reproduction and survival. Diving behavior of four killer whales (Orcinus orca), ... -
Estimated tissue and blood N2 levels and risk of in vivo bubble formation in deep-, intermediate and shallow diving toothed whales during exposure to naval sonar.
Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Miller, Patrick J.O.; Tyack, Peter L.; Doksæter, Lise Henriksen; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Fahlman, Andreas (2012)Naval sonar has been accused of causing whale stranding by a mechanism which increases formation of tissue N2 gas bubbles. Increased tissue and blood N2 levels, and thereby increased risk of decompression sickness (DCS), ... -
How man-made interference might cause gas bubble emboli in deep diving whales
Fahlman, Andreas; Tyack, Peter L.; Miller, Patrick J.O.; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold (2014)Recent cetacean mass strandings in close temporal and spatial association with sonar activity has raised the concern that anthropogenic sound may harm breath-hold diving marine mammals. Necropsy results of the stranded ...
