Outline of Final Research Achievements

For understanding the echolocation strategy of the Ganges river dolphin to survive in the tough environment of the Ganges river system, the seasonal long-term monitoring was carried out at the stationary observatory using the developed long-term real-time acoustic measurement system. Based on the ICI (Inter-click Interval) based analysis of the data uploaded to the database on the server, we succeeded in automatic discrimination of dolphin's group with calf/calves from others. The portable acoustic measurement system that can detect the dolphin's direction in real-time was also developed for measurement of the dolphins migration behavior in longer distance. An accurate long-distance acoustic monitoring system of the dolphin was realized in combination of the both systems.
