- Abstract
The article discusses a study using a mobile acoustic localization system in studying free-ranging dolphins. It involves the deployment of a calibration trial of a four-element distributed array and software localization system in order to study the whistle production of bottlenose dolphins. It was found that the 32 calibration signals correctly plotted all six hyperbolas, nine signals had five correct hyperbolas and three signals had four hyperbolas. It is concluded that the calibration system is effective for application to behavioral studies using focal follows.
