“…Instead of noise mitigation, the concept of soundscapes as an alternative viewpoint on environmental sound has been gaining momentum in recent years. Originally pioneered by Schafer [5,6] to describe an auditory equivalent to a visual landscape, soundscapes have since been investigated in the context of many different types of environments, from urban spaces [7, and 8 in this issue] to train stations [9], and even aquariums [10]. There is no single agreed definition of soundscapes [11], but a useful working definition is provided by Payne et al [12] as "soundscapes are the totality of all sounds within a location with an emphasis in the relationship between individual's or society's perception of, understanding of and interaction with the sonic environment".…”

Signals and noise in the octavolateralis systems: What is the impact of human activities on fish sensory function?

The octavolateralis systems of fishes include the vestibular, auditory, lateral line and electrosensory systems. They are united by common developmental and neuro-computational features, including hair cell sensors and computations based on cross-neuron analyses of differential hair cell stimulation patterns. These systems also all use both spectral and temporal filters to separate signals from each other and from noise, and the distributed senses (lateral line and electroreception) add spatial filters as well. Like all sensory systems, these sensors must provide the animal with guidance for adaptive behavior within a sensory scene composed of multiple stimuli and varying levels of ambient noise, including that created by human activities. In the extreme, anthropogenic activities impact the octavolateralis systems by destroying or degrading the habitats that provide ecological resources and sensory inputs. At slightly lesser levels of effect, anthropogenic pollutants can be damaging to fish tissues, with sensory organs often the most vulnerable. The exposed sensory cells of the lateral line and electrosensory systems are especially sensitive to aquatic pollution. At still lesser levels of impact, anthropogenic activities can act as both acute and chronic stressors, activating hormonal changes that may affect behavioral and sensory function. Finally, human activities are now a nearly ubiquitous presence in aquatic habitats, often with no obvious effects on the animals exposed to them. Ship noise, indigenous and industrial fishing techniques, and all the ancillary noises of human civilization form a major part of the soundscape of fishes. How fish use these new sources of information about their habitat is a new and burgeoning field of study.

“…Most often the marine environment is poorly characterized, giving rise to numerical results that are associated with large uncertainties. Furthermore, as pointed out by Wysocki et al (2007) and Craven et al (2009), the results of in-house measurements cannot be easily applied to the natural environment.…”

Particle motion measured at an operational wind turbine in relation to hearing sensitivity in fish

The effect of sound pressure on the hearing of fish has been extensively investigated in laboratory studies as well as in field trials in contrast to particle motion where few studies have been carried out. To improve this dearth of knowledge, an instrument for measuring particle motion was developed and used in a field trial. The particle motion is measured using a neutrally buoyant sphere, which co-oscillates with the fluid motion. The unit was deployed in close vicinity to a wind turbine foundation at Utgrunden wind farm in the Baltic Sea. Measurements of particle motion were undertaken at different distances from the turbine as well as at varying wind speeds. Levels of particle motion were compared to audiograms for cod (Gadus morhua L.) and plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.).
