This review highlights significant gaps in our knowledge of the effects of seismic air gun
noise on marine mammals. Although the characteristics of the seismic signal at different …

Marine petroleum exploration involves the repetitive use of high-energy noise sources, air-
guns, that produce a short, sharp, low-frequency sound. Despite reports of behavioral …

An experimental program was run by the Centre for Marine Science and Technology of
Curtin University between March 1996 and October 1999 to study the environmental …

There is increasing concern regarding the effect of human-generated (anthropogenic)
sounds on marine organisms. While most concern is focused on marine mammals, many of …

In this study various species of captive marine fish and one species of squid were exposed
to the noise from a single air gun. Six trials were conducted off the coast of Western Australia …

The dugong (Dugong dugon) is the only herbivorous mammal that is strictly marine. It has a
range spanning some 37 countries, including tropical and subtropical coastal and island …

Over many years acoustic sources of various types have been used in the search for oil and
gas in the marine environment. These sources have included sub-marine explosions and …

Curtin University between March 1996 and October 1999 to study the environmental …

Pile driver‐generated noise has the potential to affect dolphin populations adversely as it is
detectable up to 40 km from the source. At 9 kHz, this noise is capable of masking strong …

The dugong (Dugong dugon) is listed as vulnerable to extinction at a global scale. It has a
large range that spans some forty countries and includes tropical and subtropical coastal …
