Evidence that ship noise increases stress in right whales

TL;DR: Reduced ship traffic in the Bay of Fundy, Canada, following the events of 11 September 2001, resulted in a 6 dB decrease in underwater noise with a significant reduction below 150 Hz, which is the first evidence that exposure to low-frequency ship noise may be associated with chronic stress in whales.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acoustic and behavioural changes by fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in response to shipping and airgun noise

TL;DR: In this paper, acoustic and behavioral changes by fin whales in response to two different types of anthropogenic noise: shipping and airgun noise were measured in the Mediterranean Sea and Northeast Atlantic Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) population identity in the western Mediterranean Sea

TL;DR: In this paper, bottom-mounted audio recorders were deployed in nine different areas of the western Mediterranean Sea, Strait of Gibraltar, and adjacent North Atlantic waters during 2006-2009 to study fin whale seasonal presence and population structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) in the Mediterranean Sea: anomalous event or early sign of climate-driven distribution change?

TL;DR: In 2010, a gray whale was sighted off the Israeli Mediterranean shore and twenty-two days later, the same individual was seened in Spanish Mediterranean waters as discussed by the authors, leading to much speculation about the origin of this whale's population origin.
