The present collection includes a set of acoustic recordings of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) acquired in 2021 during the interaction of multiple animals with fishing gears in the north-central of the Adriatic Sea.
The collection contains:
– the raw signal wavefile with dolphin’s acoustic emissions (DATA1)
– the results of dolphin’s vocalization detection and classification (DATA2);
– 303 single wavefiles including each single detected whistle extracted from the raw signal wavefile (DATA3);
– 303 spctrogram images of each wavefile descripted above (DATA4).
This complete collection could be very useful to deepen the analysis of dolphin’s social life, communication, and interaction with fishing activities.
The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
