中国科学院水生生物研究所鲸类保护生物学学科组的“行为声学实验室”目前主要开展有关水生动物行为、发声、听觉以及被动的声学考察方法的研究。研究对象除了白鱀豚（Lipotes vexillifer）和长江江豚（Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis）以外，还包括扬子鳄（Alligator sinensis）、中华白海豚（Sousa chinensis）、花斑原海豚（Stenella attenuata）以及生活在中国沿海水域的其它鲸类/珍稀水生动物。

1. 扬子鳄的行为和发声

2. 长江江豚行为的个体发生

3. 长江江豚的感觉行为

4. 长江江豚声呐的个体发生

5. 长江江豚声呐信号的环境适应性

6. 长江江豚的声呐束特征

7. 长江江豚的听觉能力以及水下噪音对其听觉能力的影响
