Acoustic communication is an important component in the life of the cetaceans. Noise pollution of the ocean (sonar systems, underwater explosions, and water traffic) is the main reason of marine mammals population reduction, since the noise negatively affects hearing system of the cetaceans. Broadband hydrophones ZET 321 (BC 321) can be used as a primary transducer of acoustic pressure in measurement and recording systems for marine mammals research.
