Observations on the behavioral responses of bowhead whales (/vBalaena mysticetus/n) to active geophysical vessels in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea / Donald K. Ljungblad, Bernd Würsig, Steven L. Swartz, James M. Keene.
Title: | Observations on the behavioral responses of bowhead whales (/vBalaena mysticetus/n) to active geophysical vessels in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea / Donald K. Ljungblad, Bernd Würsig, Steven L. Swartz, James M. Keene. |
Author(s): | Ljungblad, Donald K. Würsig, Bernd. Swartz, Steven L. Keene, James M. |
Date: | 1988. |
In: | Arctic. (1988.), Vol. 41(3) (1988) |
Abstract: | Responses of whales to controlled approaches by vessels producing airgun blasts (as used for seismic surveying) indicate that short-term behavioural changes occur at ranges less than 10 km. Disturbance effects wane within one hour after a disturbance. Long-term effects on social, behavioural or physiologic parameters unknown. |
Notes: | Arctic. Vol. 41(3) :183--194 (1988). |
