Abstract

The article reports on the investigation of the unusual cetacean mortality rate along the coast of Taiwan from July 19 to august 13 2005. The investigation states that cetacean stranding involved 13 dwarf sperm whales, 2 longman's beaked whales, 2 pygmy sperm whales, two striped dolphins, a pantropical spotted dolphin, and a short-finned pilot whale. It also mentions that the mortality event is suspected to be caused by high-intensity acoustic energy from naval activities.
