Q&A with Dr. Manuel Castellote: Listening to whales
Dr. Manuel Castellote shares his story and experiences studying whales and dolphins through bioacoustics.
Ever since my childhood growing up in Spain, I’ve been interested in animals.
He became fascinated with marine biology and bioacoustics, particularly with whales and dolphins, due to their curiosity and unique use of sound as their dominant sense.
- Underwater visibility is often limited, making sound a more reliable sense for marine mammals.
- Sound travels more easily and farther in water due to its density compared to air.
As Dr. Castellote explains, if he shouts into the air, the sound becomes fainter, but in water, the fade is much milder.
