Akustischer Schutz für Meeressäuger: neues Warngerät PAL

Zusammen mit Wissenschaftlern und Wissenschaftlerinnen des Thunen Instituts und Experten und Expertinnen für Akustik verwenden deutsche LIFE-Mitglieder des Fischereischutzverbands nun eine neue Art von Pingern, die zum Einsatz in der Kleinfischerei entwickelt und über zwei Jahre lang in Deutschen und Dänischen Gewässern getestet wurden. Die Ergebnisse sind vielversprechend: neue Geräte eignen sich viel besser zur Abschreckung von Schweinswalen als jene Geräte die bisher eingesetzt wurden, indem sie die Beifangrate um bis zu 70% verringern. Die wichtigste Neuerung ist, dass das Gerät „PAL“, welches zum Einsatz in der Fischerei optimiert wurde, die artspezifischen Warnungen von Schweinswalen imitiert, indem es deren eigenen Ultraschallorientierungs- und Kommunikationsfrequenzen nützt. Anders ausgedrückt, die Stellnetze, die mit PAL-Geräten ausgestattet sind, “sprechen die Sprache der Schweinswale” um sie davor zu schützen, sich in ihnen zu verfangen. Fischer haben vor, an den weiteren Entwicklungen der Pinger teilzuhaben und den Einsatz der Geräte in der Ostsee zu unterstützen.

Acoustic protection for marine mammals: new warning device PAL

LIFE’s German members from Fischereischutzverband and acoustic experts are now using a new kind of pingers designed for gillnet operations that have been tested for three years in German and Danish waters. Results are promising: the new devices are much better at alerting harbour porpoises than those used until now, allowing to reduce the incidental catch rate by up to 70%.

The main novelty is that the „PAL” device, optimized for use in fishing, mimics the specific warnings of porpoises using their own ultrasonic orientation and communication frequencies. In other words, the gillnets equipped with PAL devices “speak the harbor porpoises’ language” to save them from entanglement. Fishers intend to participate in further developments of the pingers and support their use around German Baltic Sea waters.
