This programmatic effort has three long-term goals. The first is to combine medical tomography (primarily CT-scans) with finite-element modeling software, and tissue property measurements, to simulate the bioacoustic interactions between selected anthropogenic sounds and fish anatomy. This method has already been successful in providing insights on such phenomena in some marine mammals (Cranford et al., 2008b; Cranford et al., 2008c). The second long-term goal is to improve and refine our ...
