Baleen whale call occurrence and soundscape characterization at Ingonish, Nova Scotia, 2019-2021 / by Jessica Wingfield, Shihan Li, Jinshan Xu, Emma Marotte and Heather Breeze.: Fs97-6/3587E-PDF
"The areas surrounding Ingonish, Nova Scotia, support several fisheries and there have been sightings of endangered marine animals there. Despite this, this area has previously been under-surveyed, both visually and acoustically. To better understand year-round baleen whale occurrence and the composition of the soundscape in the area, acoustic data were collected off Ingonish from November 2019 to November 2021 as part of the Coastal Acoustic Monitoring (CAM) Project, initiated by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Maritimes Region. Automated detectors were used to identify potential sei, minke, North Atlantic right, humpback, blue and fin whale calls. Sound energy budgets, the percent contributions of wind, vessels, and "other" sources to the total soundscape, were calculate for six frequency bands"--Abstract, page iv.
