Just ballparking here... you will devaste any biological entities sense or hearing when it comes to close to that emitter. If they keep a some distance, they might be okay, but close quater battle against a Anti-Sub-Destroyer with directable emiters? Not a good idea. | |

It would be likely that the interior of the animals where the merfolk lived would be impervious to outside sonar waves and harmless to the inhabitants. They are likely safe inside. | |

| Sep 15, 2021 at 15:00 | comment | added | SpencerG♦ | A good point. But a counterpoint is that these things are 4 times the size of a blue whale which can emit calls at 188 Db at the highest. Something 4 times the size might not only be louder but also capable of hearing louder sounds without any harm. | |
