A new study on the impact of noise on the behaviour of fish and crustaceans has been launched by the University of Hull. Designed to inform the development of offshore wind farms, the research project uses underwater television, high frequency sonar and playback systems to replicate and monitor the effect of any artificial noise in the sea, such as ships, concrete piling strokes or offshore wind turbines. Marine Noise - The Effect of Underwater Noise in Fish and Crustaceans' Behavioural Responses in the Field is being carried out by the University of Hull's Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (I ECS) as part of the SoundWave consortium.
