New publication on whale alarm research off Sydney, Australia
by VANESSA PIROTTA 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

Dear MARMAM colleagues, We are pleased to announce the following publication in Endangered Species Research: Migrating humpback whales show no detectable response to whale alarms off Sydney, Australia Vanessa Pirotta*, David Slip, Ian D. Jonsen, Victor M. Peddemors, Douglas H. Cato, Geoffrey Ross, Robert Harcourt *Email: vanessa.pirotta(a)students.mq.edu.au Pirotta V, Slip D, Jonsen ID, Peddemors VM, Cato DH, Ross G, Harcourt R (2016) Migrating humpback whales show no detectable response to whale alarms off Sydney, Australia. Endang Species Res 29:201-209 ABSTRACT: Migratory Group V (Stock E1) humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae are at risk of entanglement with fishing gear as they migrate north and south along the east coast of Australia. This study investigated the effectiveness of 2 distinct tones for use as an alarm to acoustically alert whales to fishing gear presence and therefore reduce the chance of entanglement. We compared how whales responded in terms of changes of surface behaviour and changes in direction of travel in response to 2 acoustic tones and when there was no alarm. These 2 acoustic tones were a 5 kHz tone (5 s emission interval and 400 ms emission duration, similar to but higher frequency than the signal from a Future Oceans F3TM 3 kHz Whale Pinger®) and a 2−2.1 kHz swept tone (8 s emission interval and 1.5 s emission duration). A total of 108 tracks (focal follows) were collected using a theodolite at Cape Solander, Sydney, Australia, during the whales’ 2013 northern migration. Linear mixed effects models were used to determine the effect of the different acoustic tones on whale direction (heading), and behaviour (dive duration and speed). Whales showed no detectable response to either alarm. Whale direction and surfacing behaviour did not differ whether the alarm was ‘on’ or ‘off’. Although the response may have been different if the alarms were attached to fishing gear, the lack of measurable response suggests that the types of tones used are not likely to be effective in alarms intended to reduce entanglement of northward migrating Australian humpback whales. KEY WORDS: Fisheries · Entanglement · Megaptera novaeangliae · Mortality · Bycatch · Acoustic deterrents The paper is available online: http://www.int-res.com/abstracts/esr/v29/n3/p201-209/ *Vanessa Pirotta* | PhD Candidate Marine Predator Research Group Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science and Engineering Macquarie University, NSW 2109, Australia *Twitter: *@VanessaPirotta

Nature correspondence on scientific whaling
by Phillip Clapham - NOAA Federal 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

The following was just published in *Nature*: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v529/n7586/full/529283a.html The text is given below for those who don't have subscription access to the journal. *Japan’s whaling is unscientific* Japanese whalers are back in the Southern Ocean, aiming to kill 333 minke whales — ostensibly for the purposes of scientific research — under special permits issued by their government. In our view, the science behind Japan’s whaling activity has not passed a reasonable standard of peer review. We are members of the International Whaling Commission’s Scientific Committee (IWC-SC), plus one independent expert witness (M. Mangel) whose evidence contributed to the March 2014 negative ruling on Japan’s JARPA II whaling permit by the International Court of Justice (ICJ; see A. S. Brierley *Nature* *520,* 157; 2015). In 2015, Japan submitted a new whaling proposal (NEWREP-A). The IWC-SC coordinated two rounds of review, including one by an independent expert panel that concluded that lethal sampling had not been justified. Numerous IWC-SC members recommended exploration of widely used non-lethal alternatives (see, for example, A. M. Polanowski *et al. Mol. Ecol. Resour.* *14,* 976–987; 2014) before killing is resumed. Japan claims to have “sincerely taken into account” the IWC-SC’s opinion, but, as on previous occasions, has failed to alter its plans in any meaningful way and is proceeding to kill whales under a self-determined quota. In October 2015, Japan also rejected the jurisdiction of the ICJ on this issue. We believe that further discussion of special-permit whaling at IWC-SC under the present procedure — in which the opinion of proposers is afforded equal weight to that of referees — is a waste of time. The IWC urgently needs to develop a process of scientific review that results in clear decisions that can be respected by all. Andrew S. Brierley* University of St Andrews, UK. Phillip J.

New publication about "Summer distribution of beluga whales in the Sea of Okhotsk"
by Dmitri Glazov 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Dear Colleagues: I am pleased to announce the publication of our research Summer distribution of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in the Sea of Okhotsk Solovyev B.A., Shpak O.V., Glazov D.M., Rozhnov V.V., Kuznetsova D.M. RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF THERIOLOGY, 2015, 14(2) P. 201-215 The summer distribution of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in the Sea of Okhotsk is typical for boreal and subarctic seas that are seasonally ice covered and support numerous anadromous fish species. During summer in the Sea of Okhotsk, beluga whales aggregate where rivers flow into estuaries, gulfs, and bays. Beluga whales are currently found in Sakhalinskiy Bay (in an estuary of the Amur River), the Shantar region, in portions of Shelikhov Bay, and along the northwestern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Changes in beluga whale distribution have occurred when compared to results of earlier studies. In particular, summer aggregations have increased in the Shantar region and along the northwestern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula. http://zmmu.msu.ru/rjt/articles/ther14_2_201_215_Solovyev_et_al_for_Inet.pdf Articles available at link above or email: glazovd(a)gmail.com Best regards Dmitry Glazov Deputy head of Russian White Whale Program www.sevin-expedition.ru A.N.
