Many marine mammals communicate by emitting sounds that pass through water. Such sounds can be received across great distances and can influence the behavior of these undersea creatures. In the past few decades, the oceans have become increasingly noisy, as underwater sounds from propellers, sonars, and other human activities make it difficult for marine mammals to communicate. This book discusses, among many other topics, just how well marine mammals hear, how noisy the oceans have become, and what effects these new sounds have on marine mammals. The baseline of ambient noise, the sounds produced by machines and mammals, the sensitivity of marine mammal hearing, and the reactions of marine mammals are also examined. An essential addition to any marine biologist's library, Marine Mammals and Noise will be especially appealing to marine mammalogists, researchers, policy makers and regulators, and marine biologists and oceanographers using sound in their research.

Download Experimental Measures of Blast and Acoustic Trauma in Marine Mammals Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Blast traumas are essentially mechanical responses, therefore blast effects are inducible and measurable in post-mortem specimens. To determine onset of damage zones for blast trauma in marine mammals, fresh post-mortem specimens were implanted with pressure gages, CT scanned, and exposed to underwater blast pressures of 10-300 psi. Following exposures, specimens were rescanned and necropsied by a team of blast pathology specialists blinded to test pressures. All procedures were documented by UW video and still photography. The results show severity and type of impacts are mass-dependent and correlated with received psi. Classic blast damage was found in all tissues. Some organs unique to cetaceans have distinct damage patterns that may be diagnostic in UW blast cases. For the smallest species, safe margins are in the 10-12 psi received pressure range; for larger species the ranges can be 20-25 psi. Important issues remaining to be tested include near field vs. far field loading effects, exponential vs sinusoidal bursts, and synergistic effects of rate of pressure increase, peak pressure, waveform and duration.
