Six species of fishes were tested under aquatic far-field, plane-wave acoustic conditions to answer several key questions regarding the effects of exposure to impulsive pile driving. The issues addressed included which sound levels lead to the onset of barotrauma injuries, how these levels differ between fishes with different types of swim bladders, the recovery from barotrauma injuries, and the potential effects exposure might have on the auditory system. The results demonstrate that the current interim criteria for pile-driving sound exposures are 20 dB or more below the actual sound levels that result in the onset of physiological effects on fishes.
在水下远场平面波声学条件下,对六种鱼类进行了测试,以回答有关暴露于脉冲式打桩影响的几个关键问题。所涉及的问题包括哪些声级会导致气压伤损伤的发生、不同类型鱼鳔的鱼类之间这些声级如何不同、气压伤损伤的恢复情况,以及暴露可能对听觉系统产生的潜在影响。结果表明,当前关于打桩声音暴露的临时标准比导致鱼类产生生理效应的实际声级低20分贝或更多。
