The Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris) are an endangered species. Thus, up‐to‐date information on the distribution pattern of dolphins is critical for its proper management and conservation. Using a towed passive acoustic monitoring device, the distribution pattern of the Irrawaddy dolphins in the middle reaches of the Ayeyarwady River, Myanmar, was investigated during a vessel‐based survey between Mingun and Katha. This region was successively divided into segments 1–4 from upstream to downstream. Sixteen echolocation encounters, with a series of click trains separated by <8 min and 26 dolphin acoustic trajectories were recorded. The mean dolphin detection rate (animals/kilometer) across the four segments progressively increased from upstream to downstream. High relative abundance was observed in segment 4 (46%) and segment 1 (23%) which was consistent with findings from historical boat‐based visual surveys. The averaged interclick intervals of each click train in segment 2 and 4 was significantly shorter than that in segment 3, indicating that the dolphins in these segments frequently use shorter‐ranged biosonar. More frequent and consistent surveys with a systematic sampling track design that incorporates other factors and covering the whole distribution range along the Ayeyarwady River and at varied water levels are needed in the future.

缅甸伊洛瓦底江中游伊洛瓦底海豚(Orcaella brevirostris)分布模式的被动声监测

伊洛瓦底海豚(Orcaella brevirostris)是濒临灭绝的物种。因此,有关海豚分布模式的最新信息对其妥善管理和保护至关重要。使用拖曳式无源声波监测装置,在Mingun和Katha之间进行的基于船的调查中,调查了缅甸伊洛瓦底江中游地区伊洛瓦底江海豚的分布方式。从上游到下游,该区域被依次划分为1-4段。发生了16次回声定位,并记录了一系列间隔时间小于8分钟的喀哒声,并记录了26条海豚声线。从上游到下游,四个部分的平均海豚检测率(动物/公里)逐渐增加。在第4部分(46%)和第1部分(23%)中观察到较高的相对丰度,这与基于历史的船用视觉调查的结果一致。第2段和第4段中每个点击序列的平均点击间隔比第3段中的要短得多,这表明这些段中的海豚经常使用较短距离的生物声纳。未来需要更频繁,更一致的调查,并结合其他因素,并覆盖整个伊洛瓦底江和不同水位的整个分布范围。
