April 21, 2011 - Scientists use cameras and sonar near the U.S. Virgin Islands to "see" the seafloor and find out how fish and other sea life use the underwater habitats, which include coral reefs and sea grasses.

Wasn't there an article in Nat Geo a month ago or so that said how sonar damaged the hearing of certain sea animals such as whales?

@smasci Agreed! Sonar is horrible for marine mammals who, as we know, rely on sound for much of their daily activities.

@Yuffie3982 I would agree if there was a better alternative than SONAR. However, as it stands, SONAR is the fastest and most efficient way to map the sea. Otherwise, I doubt they would be using SONAR.

@VekyEvaEva I think you didn't understand what she said: "Proyects are on their way to find out what 'LIES' in the deep"... By the way, fishes with light really exist, but they live very much deeper, where the sunlight can't reach.

@Yuffie3982 Yeah Yuffie, you were a bit equivocal with your sentence about alternatives. It could have been taken out of context (what p51 probably did) and interpreted as there are existing alternatives, but we are not using them yet; there are alternatives that can exist, but we have not found them yet. There should be something better of course

@g4lt 13 жыл бұрын

@smasci that's a particular frequency of sonar (actually LF), which is not side-scan compatible, Don't whinge about condescension when you're in the wrong. To see a 6" fish, you need a really HF SONAR, on the order of 6-10 kHz, which attenuates to uselessness within a matter of hundreds of yards and almost conplete silence within 2 NMi. Please educate yourself first, ESPECIALLY before pointing the finger at others.

@Yuffie3982If you reread the before statement, I did not write that you mentioned that there were existing alternatives. I wrote that you said there should be something better, which you do/did. I respectfully replied simply by saying if you were so adamant about the situation you should be out helping those trying to find better alternatives to SONAR. Now calm down, my original argument wasn't even against you.

@Yuffie3982 "we need to acknowledge the problems it causes and find better alternatives." "we need to FIND better alternatives." Unless I am wrong, these are two direct implications of you saying something should be done about finding better alternatives. That something NEEDS to be done. Two direct quotes from two different comments. I don't see the misinterpretation. I don't see how this is so difficult. You're right, must be those pesky comprehension skills.

@zraustin99 7 жыл бұрын

nope, because the number of frequency are diffrent, so whale who have echolocation doesn't receive sonar that transmitted by the ship.

@Roddy1965 6 жыл бұрын

Totally depends on the frequency and the loudness of the sound and if it's impulsive or continuous. Not all sound hurts them, sometimes they don't care, sometimes it bothers them. Just like people (except they're fish etc.). It's incorrect to say all sound underwater harms the creatures.

@Yuffie3982 If there was something better they'd be using it. But there isn't. Just because you say there should be something better does not mean we have the technology to make it so. It's the best we have right now, so suck it up or get off this comment board and invent something better.
