Behavioural responses of fin whales to military mid-frequency active sonar

Behavioural responses of fin whales to military mid-frequency active sonar

The effect of active sonars on marine mammal behaviour is a topic of considerable interest and scientific investigation. Some whales, including the largest species (blue whales, Balaenoptera musculus), can be impacted by mid-frequency (1–10 kHz) military sonars. Here we apply complementary experimen...
