Offshore activities elevate ambient sound levels at sea, which may affect marine fauna. We
reviewed the literature about impact of airgun acoustic exposure on fish in terms of damage …

Marine seismic surveys produce high intensity, low-frequency impulsive sounds at regular
intervals, with most sound produced between 10 and 300 Hz. Offshore seismic surveys have …

Seismic airgun surveys to map petroleum deposits in the seabed may impact behaviour of
marine animals over large distances. Understanding whether fish spawning behaviour is …

Airguns used for offshore seismic exploration by the oil and gas industry contribute to
globally increasing anthropogenic noise levels in the marine environment. There is concern …

Anthropogenic noise has shown the potential to negatively affect animals from arthropods to
mammals through the disruption of fundamental biological processes such as metabolism …

Acoustic noise is considered a contaminant of emerging concern in the oceans (Weis,
2014). This is because we are still far from understanding how the~ 200,000 known species …

Previous studies found that sounds generated by seismic air guns led to pronounced
reductions in commercial catches from trawls and longlines and the displacement of fish …

Marine ambient sound levels have risen due to noisy human activities, such as shipping,
fishing, seismic surveys and piling for windfarms. Marine mammals and fishes are two …

Until we gain more information on the impacts of manmade sounds on marine life, interim
procedures will have to be developed to assess the risks to fishes. effects of sound on …

Human activities in and around waters generate a substantial amount of underwater noise,
which may negatively affect aquatic life including fish. In order to better predict and assess …
