Harderwijk Marine Mammal Park, The Netherlands
Mar Environ Res 53:199-218. 2002..261e(0.0156(body length-100)). Animals weighing 155-225 kg consumed between 2 and 4% of their body mass per day...
Startle response of captive North Sea fish species to underwater tones between 0.1 and 64 kHzRonald A Kastelein
Sea Mammal Research Company, Julianalaan 46, 3843 CC Harderwijk, The Netherlands
Mar Environ Res 65:369-77. 2008..As well as on the spectrum and level of anthropogenic sounds, the reactions of fish probably depend on the context (e.g. location, temperature, physiological state, age, body size, and school size)...
Number and duration of echolocation click trains produced by a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in relation to target and performanceRonald A Kastelein
Sea Mammal Research Company SEAMARCO, Julianalaan 46, 3843 CC Harderwijk, The Netherlands
J Acoust Soc Am 124:40-3. 2008..Click train duration probably increased until the animal's certainty about the target's presence or absence exceeded a certain level, after which the porpoise responded...
Detection distances of bottom-set gillnets by harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)R A Kastelein
Harderwijk Marine Mammal Park, Strandboulevard Oost I, 3841 AB Harderwijk, Netherlands
Mar Environ Res 49:359-75. 2000..Suggestions for future research to reduce small cetacean bycatch by improving the nets' detectability by echolocation are given...
The influence of three acoustic alarms on the behaviour of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in a floating penR A Kastelein
Harderwijk Marine Mammal Park, The Netherlands
Mar Environ Res 52:351-71. 2001..6%). The porpoises reacted to all three alarms by swimming away from them and by increasing their respiration rate. The XP-10, which on average had the highest source level, had the strongest effect...
Audiogram of a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) measured with narrow-band frequency-modulated signalsRonald A Kastelein
Harderwijk Marine Mammal Park, The Netherlands
J Acoust Soc Am 112:334-44. 2002..The time it took for the porpoise to move its head 22 cm after the signal onset (movement time) was also measured. It increased from about 1 s at 10 dB above threshold, to about 1.5 s at threshold...
Underwater audiogram of a Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) measured with narrow-band frequency-modulated signalsR A Kastelein
Harderwijk Marine Mammal Park, The Netherlands
J Acoust Soc Am 112:2173-82. 2002..The thresholds found during a small test with four frequencies with signal durations of 300 ms did not differ significantly from those obtained with signal durations of 1500 ms...
Audiogram of a striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba)Ronald A Kastelein
Harderwijk Marine Mammal Park, Strandboulevard oost 1, 3841 AB Harderwijk, The Netherlands
J Acoust Soc Am 113:1130-7. 2003..The animal's hearing became less sensitive below 32 kHz and above 120 kHz. Sensitivity decreased by about 8 dB per octave below 1 kHz and fell sharply at a rate of about 390 dB per octave above 140 kHz...
Underwater hearing sensitivity of a male and a female Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus)Ronald A Kastelein
Sea Mammal Research Company, Julianalaan 46, 3843 CC Harderwijk, The Netherlands
J Acoust Soc Am 118:1820-9. 2005..The hearing sensitivity differences between the male and female Steller sea lion in this study may be due to individual differences in sensitivity between the subjects or due to sexual dimorphism in hearing...
Receiving beam patterns in the horizontal plane of a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)Ronald A Kastelein
Sea Mammal Research Company SEAMARCO, Julianalaan 46, 3843 CC Harderwijk, The Netherlands
J Acoust Soc Am 118:1172-9. 2005..Directivity of hearing improves the signal-to-noise ratio and thus is a tool for a better detection of certain signals in a given ambient noise condition...
The influence of underwater data transmission sounds on the displacement behaviour of captive harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)Ronald A Kastelein
SEAMARCO, Julianalaan 46, 3843 CC Harderwijk, The Netherlands
Mar Environ Res 61:19-39. 2006..The discomfort zone should not coincide with ecologically important areas (for instance resting, breeding, suckling, and feeding areas), or routes between these areas...
Acoustic radiation from the head of echolocating harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)Whitlow W L Au
Marine Mammal Research Program, Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, P O Box 1106, Kailua, HI 96734, USA
J Exp Biol 209:2726-33. 2006....
Deterring effects of 8-45 kHz tone pulses on harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) in a large poolRonald A Kastelein
Sea Mammal Research Company, Julianalaan 46, 3843 CC Harderwijk, The Netherlands
Mar Environ Res 62:356-73. 2006..The discomfort threshold SPL may depend on the context...
Modeling the detection range of fish by echolocating bottlenose dolphins and harbor porpoisesWhitlow W L Au
Marine Mammal Research Program, Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, University of Hawaii, Kailua, Hawaii 96734, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 121:3954-62. 2007..The primary reason for the large differences in detection ranges between both species was attributed to the 36 dB higher source level of the bottlenose dolphin echolocation signals...
The influence of signal parameters on the sound source localization ability of a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)Ronald A Kastelein
Sea Mammal Research Company SEAMARCO, Julianalaan 46, 3843 CC Harderwijk, The Netherlands
J Acoust Soc Am 122:1238-48. 2007..The porpoise was able to locate sound sources up to 124 degrees to its left or right more easily than sounds from behind it...
Behavioral avoidance threshold level of a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) for a continuous 50 kHz pure toneRonald A Kastelein
Sea Mammal Research Company, Julianalaan 46, 3843 CC Harderwijk, The Netherlands
J Acoust Soc Am 123:1858-61. 2008..This study demonstrates that porpoises may be deterred from an area by high frequency sounds that are not typically audible to fish and pinnipeds and would be less likely masked by ambient noise...
