Tribute to Whitlow Au

Abstract

Whitlow Au has played a large role in my life both as a friend, as editor of manuscripts I submitted to JASA and a book on bycatch of harbor porpoises, as co-authors of manuscripts we submitted together to JASA, as author of manuscripts Whit submitted to sensory system books of which I was a co-editor. Whit also proposed me as a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America. We collaborated on several research project, which were conducted in pools at the cetacean rehabilitation center of Dolfinarium Harderwijk, the Netherlands, in a large floating pen at Neeltje Jans, the Netherlands, at the Hawaii Institute for Marine Biology, Oahu, USA, in a large fish pool at Jacobahaven, and at the Netherlands and at SEAMARCO Research Institute, Wilhelminadorp, the NL. The publications in Whit and I are co-authors are used as points of departure of the talk. The studies are described in chronological order, and the gist of each study is given.
