Fishermen have long claimed that catch rates decline when a seismic survey starts on a
fishing ground. Likewise, both fishermen and scientists working on fish stock assessment …

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 …

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

In April 1999 seismic investigations started in an area off western Norway as part of an
ordinary three-dimensional survey, using a vessel with two seismic sources, each of 20 air …

Seismic shootings and offshore pile-driving are regularly performed, emitting significant
amounts of noise that may negatively affect fish behaviour. The pulse repetition interval …

The impact of seismic surveys on the catchability of marine fish is a contentious issue, with
some claims that seismic surveys may negatively affect catch rates. However little empirical …

High activity of seismic surveying in Norwegian waters has caused concerns about the
impact the acoustic noise from the seismic airguns may have on marine life. There is …
