Humans have always been fascinated by marine life, from extremely
small diatoms to the largest mammal that inhabits our planet, the
blue whale. However, studying marine life in the ocean is an
extremely difficult propo- tion because an ocean environment is not
only vast but also opaque to most instruments and can be a hostile
environment in which to perform expe- ments and research. The use
of acoustics is one way to effectively study animal life in the
ocean. Acoustic energy propagates in water more efficiently than
almost any form of energy and can be utilized by animals for a
variety of purposes and also by scientists interested in studying
their behavior and natural history. However, underwater acoustics
have traditionally been in the domain of physicists, engineers and
mathematicians. Studying the natural history of animals is in the
domain of biologists and physiologists. Und- standing behavior of
animals has traditionally involved psychologists and zoologists. In
short, marine bioacoustics is and will continue to be a diverse
discipline involving investigators from a variety of backgrounds,
with very different knowledge and skill sets. The inherent
inter-disciplinary nature of marine bioacoustics presents a large
challenge in writing a single text that would be meaningful to
various investigators and students interested in this field. Yet we
have embarked on this challenge to produce a volume that would be
helpful to not only beginning investigators but to seasoned
researchers.
