Och kanske kan den kunskapen hjälpa yrkesfiskare att skrämma bort denna storätare

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play.

Sälar som förstör redskap och äter upp fångst är ett stort problem för yrkesfiskare. Hösten 2023 påbörjades därför ett treårigt forskningsprojekt som handlar om att ta fram en ny sorts sälskrämma. Det är Eva-Lotta Blom, marinbiolog vid SLU i Umeå, och Örjan Johansson professor i teknisk akustik vid Luleå tekniska universitet som arbetar med att utveckla en fungerande skrämma. Dagens skrämmor skickar ut ljud mellan 10-15 000 hertz men ny forskning visar att sälarna hör långt över det och nu arbetar Eva-Lotta och Örjan med att hitta rätt frekvens för att skapa maximalt obehag utan att skada.

Ljudvärld möter de båda för att prata frekvens, morrhår och hur man hanterar ljud i vatten.

It’s the most recognizable TV theme in America. But Jeopardy’s “Think Music” wasn’t originally written for a game show… It was written for a toddler. In this episode, we trace the unlikely journey of the Jeopardy theme, from Merv Griffin’s living room to over 10,000 episodes across six decades. Along the way, we explore the show’s sonic evolution, including honking buzzers, 80s synths, and orchestral remixes. Featuring Lisa Broffman, Jeopardy’s Consulting Co-Executive Producer.
