Average (▽) and maximum (◯) risk of DCS (R, Eq. 1) during pre-sonar control (solid symbols) and sonar exposure periods (open symbols) in behavioral “responders”. LFAS (left) and MFAS (right). Killer whales (Oo), pilot whales (Gm), sperm whales (Sw), Blainville’s beaked whales (Md), and Cuvier’s beaked whales (Zc). Risk is defined as the end-dive mixed venous N2 tension minus the ambient N2 tension (Eq. 1).
