Which hunting outcome characterizes cetaceans that perform 'acoustic jamming'?

💡 Explanation

Prey lose navigational awareness around cetacean predators during acoustic jamming, because intense outgoing sonar overwhelms the prey's sensory apparatus. The mechanism, also known as 'acoustic masking', reduces the ability of targeted fish to detect the attacking cetacean underwater, therefore reducing their chance of escape, rather than improving awareness.
