SRKW acoustic response - Investigating noise effects on the acoustic signals and behavior of Southern Resident killer whales (Orcinus orca)

In this study, vocal compensation is being investigated in Southern Resident killer whale (SRKW) calls to determine the degree to which whales can adjust to increased background noise levels. In addition, whale and vessel behavior data are also collected to determine what contribution vessel traffic has on noise levels and how noise levels influence whale behavior. The work was part of an NRC-p...

本研究旨在探究南部居民杀人鲸（SRKW）叫声中的声音补偿现象，以确定鲸鱼调整至增强背景噪音水平的程度。此外，还收集了鲸鱼与船舶行为数据，以确定船舶交通对噪音水平的贡献以及噪音水平如何影响鲸鱼的行为。此项研究是NRC...项目的一部分。
