Abstract
A free-field underwater audiogram from 0.76 to 100 kHz was obtained for Pagophilus groenlandicus. Areas of increased sensitivity occurred at 2 and 22.9 kHz. The lowest threshold was −32.9 db/μbar at 15.0 kHz. Above 64 kHz the threshold increases at a rate of 40 db/octave. The audiogram was similar to that of the Phoca vitulina. The effects of ambient noise on the audiogram are discussed.
