  • Title: Effects of Underwater Turbine Noise on Crab Larval Metamorphosis.
    Author: Pine MK, Jeffs AG, Radford CA.
    Journal: Adv Exp Med Biol; 2016; 875():847-52. PubMed ID: 26611041.
    Abstract:
    The development of marine tidal turbines has advanced at a rapid rate over the last decade but with little detailed understanding of the potential noise impacts on invertebrates. Previous research has shown that underwater reef noise plays an important role in mediating metamorphosis in many larval crabs and fishes. New research suggests that underwater estuarine noise may also mediate metamorphosis in estuarine crab larvae and that the noise emitted from underwater tidal and sea-based wind turbines may significantly influence larval metamorphosis in estuarine crabs.
