In this review, we summarize and discuss the main interactions affecting salmon farming and
pinniped populations worldwide. Out of seven pinnipeds commonly engaged in these …

Harbour porpoises are under pressure from increasing human activities. This includes the
detonation of ammunition that was dumped in large amounts into the sea during and after …

Evidence for synaptopathy, the acute loss of afferent auditory nerve terminals, and
degeneration of spiral ganglion cells associated with temporary threshold shift (TTS) in …

The increase of anthropogenic noise in the environment is a global phenomenon occurring
in various types of habitats. Its impact on wildlife is therefore a growing research concern for …

Detailed post-mortem investigations including the auditory pathway are needed to advance
our understanding of how underwater noise and other stressors affect hearing in cetaceans …

The Antarctic is a pristine environment inhabited by marine mammal (cetacean and

The auditory effects of single-and multiple-shot impulsive noise exposures were evaluated
in a bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus). This study replicated and expanded upon recent …

Pinniped depredation at aquaculture sites is a globally recognized problem. To mitigate
depredation, the aquaculture sector uses acoustic deterrent devices (ADDs) as a non‐lethal …

Large rivers like the Elbe or the Weser are periodically entered by harbor porpoises of the
