Abstract:
A turtle alerting system, comprising:an acoustic signal generator for generating at least one of a first acoustic signal of less than 200 Hz, a second acoustic signal of between 200 Hz, and 900 Hz, and a third acoustic signal of between 900 Hz, and 15 kHz; an amplitude modulator for amplitude modulating at least one of the first, second and third acoustic signals with an ultrasound carrier to thereby provide at least one of first, second and third ultrasound-modulated signals; and an output device for outputting the at least one of the first, second and third acoustic signals and the at least one of the first second and third ultrasound-modulated signals, wherein the amplitude modulator is provided between the acoustic signal generator and the output device, and wherein the at least of the first, second and third acoustic signals and the at least one of the first, second and third ultrasound-modulated signals affect an auditory system of a turtle in order to alert the turtle and cause movement of the turtle.
