To know ecology of dolphin and porpoise using acoustics

To estimate abundance or density of dolphin and porpoises using acoustics

To examine acoustic characteristics and behavior of dolphin and porpoise

Animals I have studied

Yangtze finless porpoise（density estimation, distribution pattern and echolocating pattern etc：publication3-8）

Indo-Paciffic humpback dolphin or Sousa（Souce level estimation：submitted）

Harbor porpoise in Denmark

Vaquita

Finless, Sousa and Irrawady dolphin in Thailand

Ganges river dolphin in Bramahptra（abundance estimation：on-going）

Finless porpoise in Ise and Mikawa bay（abundance, distribution and assess of noise effect：on-going）

Finless and Sousa（abundance and distribution：on-going）

as a help

Bottlenose dolphin in Kamogawa sea world

Green sea turtle in Ishigaki island (behavior pattern：submitted)

etc
