  2. Sorry how do cetaceans get DCS if they don't even have nitrogen in their organism? BTW I love the animations but it's acctually not the high frequency's that affects the cetaceans it's the low frequency pings from active sonar and the resonance created from high frequency pings that also affect cetaceans. All cetaceans have a frequency threshold above a certain frequency much like humans cetaceans cannot hear the ping from the sonar so no matter how loud the frequency emitted by the sonar is, It will no disturb the cetacean unless it is in the hearing range.
