This results in three sperm whales forming a defensive position against the harassing orcas. This audio, detailed in our paper, has also been made publicly available for potential use in other studies.

New paper! Here we report four opportunistic observations of orcas harassing adult male sperm whales near Andenes, Norway. In one instance of recorded audio one sperm whale, using a series of clangs and codas, appears to call to other sperm whales nearby when approached by a group of orcas. See πΌοΈβ€΅οΈ.

In the video we are using a crane to lift the array lander overboard, while our crane operator, the trustworthy deck boss Artur, monitors an underwater camera to make sure the lander settles correctly on the seafloor. Then Line Kyhn takes a GPS point to mark the position.

This week I'm out in the Danish #BalitcSea on the #SAMBAHII Project, working to monitor the remaining 500 Baltic #harborporpoise. Here, we are deploying a 4-channel array to calculate the #dectectionFunction, or the likelihood of detecting porpoise #echolocation in the study area.
