Noises humans make in the ocean could be intruding on a courtship ritual of male whales whose long sequences of low-frequency sounds actually are love songs to woo females.
A report on Discovery.com said fin and blue whales attract females from hundreds of miles away, using the ocean's sound channel.
Christopher Clark, a bioacoustics specialist at Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology in New York, said the songs invite the females to "sumptuous krill feasts" before mating. Acoustic pollution from shipping, military sonar and seismic surveys are just some of the noises that humans create in the ocean that could mess up this lovers serenade, making it more difficult for the whales to find each other in the vast oceans. That, in turn, could hamper reproduction and population recovery, the report said.
