Cavitation and cetacean
Cavitation and cetacean
Bubbles are the most acoustically active naturally occurring entities in the ocean, and cetaceans
are the most intelligent. Having evolved over tens of millions of years to cope with the
underwater acoustic environment, cetaceans may have developed techniques from which we
could learn. This paper outlines some of the possible interactions, ranging from the exploitation
of acoustics in bubble nets to trap prey, to techniques for echolocating in bubbly water, to the
possibility that man-made sonar signals could be responsible for bubble generation and death
within cetaceans.

Abstract
Bubbles are the most acoustically active naturally occurring entities in the ocean, and cetaceans
are the most intelligent. Having evolved over tens of millions of years to cope with the
underwater acoustic environment, cetaceans may have developed techniques from which we
could learn. This paper outlines some of the possible interactions, ranging from the exploitation
of acoustics in bubble nets to trap prey, to techniques for echolocating in bubbly water, to the
possibility that man-made sonar signals could be responsible for bubble generation and death
within cetaceans.
