  • Title: Acoustic Response to Playback of Pile-Driving Sounds by Snapping Shrimp.
    Author: Spiga I.
    Journal: Adv Exp Med Biol; 2016; 875():1081-8. PubMed ID: 26611071.
    Abstract:
    There is concern about the effects of noise from impact pile driving as this constructional technique becomes increasingly widespread in coastal areas. The habitats of most marine invertebrate species are likely to overlap with the areas of human activities along the coast and be affected by the increased levels of noise produced. This paper investigates the acoustic response of chorusing snapping shrimp to different sound pressure levels. A significant increase in the snap number and snap amplitude was recorded during the playback of piling noise, suggesting that noise exposure affected the acoustic behavior of these animals.
