• Responses of cetaceans to anthropogenic noise (2007, background): “Patenaude et al. (2002) observed bowhead whales Balaena mysticetus during spring migration and recorded their short-term responses to both helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft activity.”
• The impacts of anthropogenic ocean noise on cetaceans and implications for management (2007, background): “Killer whales and harbor porpoises dramatically changed locations to avoid loud acoustic harassment devices (Morton and Symonds 2002; Olesiuk et al. 2002).”
• Implications for marine mammals of large-scale changes in the marine acoustic environment (2008, background): “The estimated avoidance ranges were approximately 4 km. Olesiuk et al. (2002) conducted a similar but shorter-term study in which they shut down acoustic harassment devices for 3 weeks and then activated them for three 3-week intervals over a period of 18 weeks.”
• To ping or not to ping: the use of active acoustic devices in mitigating interactions between small cetaceans and gillnet fisheries (2013, background): “Studies of harbour porpoises in areas where high-intensity AHDs are deployed have shown that this species can be displaced considerable distances by high levels of sound (Johnston 2002, Olesiuk et al. 2002).”
• Behavioral biology of marine mammal deterrents: A review and prospectus (2013, background): “Consequently, ADD usage can cause habitat exclusion in odontocete species such as killer whales and harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) (Morton and Symonds, 2002; Olesiuk et al., 2002; Brandt et al., 2013).”
