Spatial Impact of Recreational-Grade Echosounders and the Implications for Killer Whales
The spatial extent of a dual-frequency echosounder and its potential impact on cetacean species were examined. Sound emissions of output frequencies of 83 kHz and 200 kHz were tested at a maximum distance of 400 m. This is the minimum vessel approach distance for killer whales (<i>Orcinus orca...
