Scottish Government awarded a contract to Jasco Applied Sciences for the analysis of broadband acoustic data recordings and noise propagation modelling from acoustic deterrent devices (ADDs).

The work contributes to developing a behavioural dose response curve for harbour porpoise exposed to ADD sounds, improving understanding of disturbance to harbour porpoise and informing decision-making for European Protected Species licence applications.

This supports the Scottish Government's commitment to a research and monitoring programme on ADDs and other non-lethal measures for seal depredation control in finfish aquaculture, as outlined in the recent Report to the Scottish Parliament.

The contract value is £32,391.77.
