ABSTRACT 1 Since the last thorough review of the effects of anthropogenic noise on
cetaceans in 1995, a substantial number of research reports has been published and our …

Ocean noise pollution is of special concern for cetaceans, as they are highly dependent on
sound as their principal sense. Sound travels very efficiently underwater, so the potential …

Organochlorine (OC) pesticides and the more persistent polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
have well-established dose-dependent toxicities to birds, fish and mammals in experimental …

This review considers the effect of anthropogenic sound on beaked whales2. Two major
conclusions are presented:(1) gas-bubble disease, induced in supersaturated tissue by a …

Sound-and-orientation recording tags (DTAGs) were used to study 10 beaked whales of two
poorly known species, Ziphius cavirostris (Zc) and Mesoplodon densirostris (Md). Acoustic …

Marine noise pollution (MNP) can cause a multitude of impacts on many organisms, but
information is often scattered and general outcomes difficult to assess. We have reviewed …

With the growing utilization and exploration of the ocean, anthropogenic noise increases
significantly and gives rise to a new kind of pollution: noise pollution. In this review, the …

Mid-frequency military (1–10 kHz) sonars have been associated with lethal mass strandings
of deep-diving toothed whales, but the effects on endangered baleen whale species are …

Marine mammals (whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, sea cows) use sound both actively and
passively to communicate and sense their environment, covering frequencies from a few …

This study describes the pathologic findings and most probable causes of death (CD) of 224
cetaceans stranded along the coastline of the Canary Islands (Spain) over a 7-year period …
