It is found in warm, temperate waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, mostly off the edges of continental shelves, however there is a separate population which occurs in the southern oceans around the world. The combination of more rapid clicking by Gervais’ beaked whales (~3 clicks/s) relative to Cuvier’s beaked whales (~2 clicks/s), is compensated by a smaller proportion of time dedicated to clicking for Gervais’ beaked whales (19%) relative to Cuvier’s beaked whales (36%), yielding similar estimated click rates (~0.49 clicks/s) over their dive cycles (Table 2). Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) have stranded in association with mid-frequency active sonar (MFAS) use, and though the causative mechanism linking these events remains unclear, it is believed to be behaviourally mediated.To determine whether MFAS use was associated with behavioural changes in this species, satellite tags were used to record the diving and movements of 16 … smaller beaked whales may be confused with pilot whales or large dolphins.
