Assessment of acoustic exposure & presence of cetaceans around static-net fisheries equipped with targeted acoustic startle technology (TAST) to mitigate seal depredation
Researchers from the Republic of Ireland confirmed target specificity of TAST devices tuned for a pinniped-fishery conflict application. This report also recommended that, “…regulatory frameworks consider options to use combined (TAST) devices that prevent lethal bycatch of delphinids and porpoise, while also preventing depredation by phocid seals.”
