Whale Call, Western Pacific Biotwang, Dubbed in Mariana Trench Scientists at the OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center have discovered the source of a strange sound recorded near the Mariana Trench. The metallic sound has been dubbed as Western Pacific Biotwang. The recording released has an unusual booming sound, with deep moans at low Whale Call, Western Pacific
Biotwang, Dubbed in Mariana Trenchfrequencies and a metallic finale at extremely high frequencies. It was recorded by seafaring robots known in the marine world as “Passive Acoustic Ocean Gliders”. As per the report, scientists believe that the sound could be the call of a whole new type of whale known as minke whale.
iv. It is a type of baleen whale that produces sounds that span frequencies that reach as low as 38 hertz and as high as 8,000 hertz. These Minke whales live in the Great Barrier Reef off the northeast coast of Australia.
v. The autonomous seafaring robots that captured the call are known as Passive Acoustic Ocean Gliders. The glider was equipped with a custom-designed and in-built passive acoustic recording system. The glider could dive up to 3,280 feet below surface.
