This study investigated immediate effects of intense sound exposure associated with low-frequency (170–320 Hz) or with mid-frequency (2·8–3·8 kHz) sonars on caged rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss,...

Fish were exposed to underwater blasts in an artificial pond, 220 x 150 ft, that was 30 ft deep. The underwater-blast impulse levels required for 50-percent...
