Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Studying habitat use of cetaceans that spend most of their lives underwater poses challenges, prompting the use of complementary methods. Non‐invasive methods, land‐based surveys (LBS) and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), were used to characterize occurrence patterns of beluga whales, harbor porpoises, and vessels in the Saguenay–St ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigated the occurrence and whistle characteristics of small odontocetes in Wakasa Bay and Aso Bay, located in the coastal waters of the Sea of Japan, where ecological data are limited. Passive acoustic monitoring using A‐tag and SoundTrap was conducted from 2022 to 2024, with detections on 8.8% and 12.4% of monitoring days at ...
