Environmental Impact of High Amplitude Acoustic Signals on Fish and Invertebrates
- Why?
The offshore renewable market is growing rapidly. - High amplitude acoustic signals have been identified as a threat to marine life.
- Fish and invertebrates detect the particle motion of an acoustic field rather than the SPL.
- Particle motion must be measured indirectly to cover the frequency range.
- Measurement sensors operate in narrow margins.
- Complexity is added due to the low frequency range of interest.
- Sound pressure level(SPL) is regularly measured for marine mammals.
- It is essential to understand the impact on fish and invertebrates to improve our treatment of the marine environment.
