Virtual Experiments in Marine Bioacoustics: Whales, Fish, and Anthropogenic Sound
Abstract
This programmatic effort has three long-term goals. The first is to combine medical tomography (primarily CT-scans) with finite-element modeling software, and tissue property measurements, to simulate the bioacoustic interactions between selected anthropogenic sounds and fish anatomy. This method has already been successful in providing insights on such phenomena in some marine mammals (Cranford et al., 2008b; Cranford et al., 2008c). The second long-term goal is to improve and refine our ability to measure tissue samples by building a portable device that we can take into the field in order to measure physical properties from fresh tissue samples. The third and final goal is to continue the development of the finite element modeling software to incorporate new tools and techniques that will allow us to expand the taxonomic breadth of our vibro-acoustic research.
