Temporary hearing threshold shift in a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) after exposure to multiple airgun sounds

2017
Open Access Peer Reviewed Publication

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

Kastelein, R.A., Helder-Hoek, L., Van de Voorde, S., von Benda-Beckmann, A .M., Lam, F-P. A., Jansen, E., de Jong, C. A. F. & Ainslie, M. A.

In seismic surveys, reflected sounds from airguns are used under water to detect gas and oil below the sea floor. The airguns produce broadband high-amplitude impulsive...

Potential for population-level disturbance by active sonar in herring

2015
Open Access Peer Reviewed Publication

ICES Journal of Marine Science

Sivle, L. D., Kvadsheim, P. H. and Ainslie, M. A.
