Belukha whale (delphinapterus leucas) responses to industrial noise in Nushagak Bay, Alaska: 1983
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6180690
Between 15 June and 14 July 1983 the authors conducted playback experiments with belukha whales in the Snake River, Alaska, using sounds recorded near an operating oil-drilling rig. The objectives of these experiments were to quantify behavioral responses of belukha whales to oil drilling noise in an area where foreign acoustic stimuli were absent, and to test the hypothesis that beluhka whales would not approach a source of loud sound.
