The potential impacts of pile-driving noise on Hudson River sturgeon during construction of the New NY Bridge were predicted. Abundance data for shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon derived from fisheries sampling were combined with data about the spatial extent of pile-driving noise. This approach was used to calculate the number of sturgeon that could occur within sound level isopleths exceeding peak and cumulative noise criteria used by the National Marine Fisheries Service to determine the incidental take of sturgeon. The number of sturgeon subject to the potential onset of physiological effects during pile driving was predicted to be 35-41 fish for each species.
预测了在新建纽约大桥施工期间打桩噪声对哈得逊河鲟鱼的潜在影响。将渔业采样获得的短吻鲟和大西洋鲟的丰度数据与打桩噪声的空间范围数据相结合。采用这种方法来计算可能出现在声级等值线范围内、超过美国国家海洋渔业局用于确定鲟鱼附带捕获量的峰值和累积噪声标准的鲟鱼数量。预计在打桩过程中可能受到生理影响的每种鲟鱼数量为35 - 41条。
