2. Habituation to an acoustic harassment device (AHD) by killer whales depredating demersal longlines

   return of initial depredation behaviour strongly suggests that AHDs are ineffective at deterring ... fisheries that suffer significant losses caused by odontocete depredation. However, the efficacy of AHDs to ... deter odontocetes from fishing gear remains poorly investigated. To determine the effectiveness of AHDs ... distances of 29 killer whales from the vessel (n = 1,812 records) were collected during 45 phases of AHD ...
