reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA573671 | Open PDF

Abstract:

LONG-TERM GOALS To develop and instrumentation package in order to examine the hearing of as many marine mammals and species as possible in order to develop an understanding of the normal hearing capabilities of marine mammals. To advance the technology for testing hearing in the laboratory and the field. OBJECTIVES To build a rugged field-ready portable battery-operated system to use to measure the hearing capabilities of marine mammals in the lab, on ships, on the beach or wherever we have the opportunity.
