Feeding herring schools do not react to seismic air gun surveys

2013
Open Access Peer Reviewed Publication

ICES Journal of Marine Science

Peña, H., Handegard, N. O. and Ona, E.

The real-time behaviour of herring schools exposed to a full-scale 3D seismic survey off Vesterålen, northern Norway, was observed using an omnidirectional fisheries sonar. Throughout the...

Acoustic noise reduces foraging success in two sympatric fish species via different mechanisms

2014
Pay-walled Journal Article

Animal Behaviour

Voellmy, Irene K., Purser Julia, Flynn Douglas, Kennedy Philippa, Simpson Steven D., and Radford Andrew N.

Effective foraging behaviour is essential for animals to survive and reproduce, and depends on many intrinsic and environmental factors. There is increasing evidence that man-made (anthropogenic)...

The role of ambient sound levels, signal-to-noise ratio, and stimulus pulse rate on behavioural disturbance of seabass in a net pen

2019
Open Access Article

Behavioural Processes

Hubert, J., Neo Y. Y., Winter H. V., and Slabbekoorn H.

Anthropogenic sources increasingly contribute to the underwater soundscape and this may negatively impact aquatic life, including fish. Anthropogenic sound may mask relevant sound, alter behaviour, physiology,...
