About this eBook

""Whale Deep Hearing"" explores the captivating realm of whale bioacoustics, revealing how these marine mammals use sound for communication, navigation, and social interaction. It delves into the physics of underwater acoustics, explaining how factors like temperature and salinity affect sound propagation. The book highlights the diversity of whale vocalizations, from the haunting songs of humpback whales to the echolocation clicks of orcas, emphasizing the sophistication of whale communication.

The book examines the impact of human-generated noise pollution on whale communication and behavior, revealing how shipping, sonar, and industrial activities disrupt their acoustic habitat. It presents evidence from hydrophone recordings, behavioral observations, and anatomical studies to support its claims.

This interdisciplinary approach, integrating oceanography, marine biology, and environmental science, provides a holistic understanding of whale communication and its ecological significance. The book progresses from the scientific foundations of whale bioacoustics to an analysis of different types of whale vocalizations and concludes with a discussion of conservation strategies. By presenting the information in a scientific yet accessible manner, ""Whale Deep Hearing"" is a valuable resource for marine biologists, conservationists, and anyone interested in ocean conservation.
