Effects of Continuous Acoustic Stress on ROS Levels and Antioxidant-Related Gene Expression in the Black Porgy (Acanthopagrus schlegelii)
Author: Chang, Hao-Yi; Lin, Tzu-Hao; Anraku, Kazuhiko; and Shao, Yi Ta
Abstract Short-term exposure to strong underwater noise is known to seriously impact fish. However, the chronic physiological effects of continuous exposure to weak noise, i.e. the operation noise from offshore wind farms (OWF), remain unclear. Since more and more OWF will be built in the near future, their operation noise is an emerging ecological issue. To investigate the long-term physiological effects of such underwater noise on fish, black porgies (Acanthopagrus schlegelii) were exposed to two types of simulated wind farm . . .

Author: Wang, Yining; et al.
Highlights Extended exposure to noise could have implications for the immune system and cardiac health of black rockfish. The noise from offshore wind farms have adverse effects on the normal morphology of the sensory hair cells in black rockfish. Underwater noise causes metabolic disruption in black rockfish. Characteristic assessment of noise at the 5.2 MW single-pile foundation wind turbine in Shandong. Abstract During the operational phase of offshore wind farms, the generation of low-frequency underwater noise has received widespread attention due . . .
