[en] The principle of passive acoustics is to position hydrophones in the water to extract information about biotic and abiotic sounds from the ecosystem. This inexpensive technique (in equipment and human resources) allows to investigate places where man does not have access, like seabeds, and over long periods, allowing to refine observations. In this presentation, we present the methodology and the first preliminary results of the study of the submarine canyon macrofauna in the Mediterranean Sea.
