LifeWatch Belgium Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring Network, contribution by MARECO

Presence and activity of harbour porpoises at specific locations is measured by passive acoustic monitoring using hydrophones (C-PODs) (Chelonia Inc). C-PODs can detect odontocete whale, dolphin, and porpoise clicks within a frequency range of 20 – 160 kHz continuously up to at least 300 metres away. They are durable pieces of equipment and can be used in many different environments. Rather than recording audio files, C-PODs collect and store information on the tonal clicks that they detect. This significantly lengthens their battery life and allows them to be particularly useful for long-term studies. Once the C-POD detects a click, it can record the time, centre frequency, sound pressure level, duration and bandwidth of each click that is produced.

Algemene beschrijving herkomst

The C-POD stores its data (time, centre frequency, sound pressure level, duration and bandwidth) on an internal Secure Digital (SD) card which can easily be exported into a PC using a card-reader and relevant C-POD Software, CPOD.exe which is supplied by the manufacturer (Chelonia, 2019). CPOD.exe allows for the display, extraction and analysis of data that has been collected. Click trains are identified by pre-defined algorithms and are selected by a built-in classifier (KERNO) which searches for specific click parameters as well as inter click intervals within trains. The KERNO classifier then uses this information to give each train a confidence class – high, medium or low.
