Quantitative measures of air-gun pulses recorded on sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) using acoustic tags during controlled exposure experiments

2006
Pay-walled Journal Article

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

Madsen, P. T., Johnson, M., Miller, P. J. O., Aguilar Soto, N., Lynch, J. and Tyack, P.

Effect of a Bubble Screen on the Behavioural Responses of Captive Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) Exposed to Airgun Sounds

2019
Open Access Peer Reviewed Publication

Aquatic Mammals

Ronald A Kastelein, Alexander M. von Benda-Beckmann, Frans-Peter A.Lam, Erwin Jansen, Christ A. F. de Jong
