Enclosure Acoustics Considerations for the Study of the Effect of Noise on Fish
54º Congreso Español de Acústica — Tecniacústica 2023
Abstract
Studying the behaviour of fish is extremely difficult in a free environment, especially when it comes to their exposure to different sound sources. For this reason, existing research is carried out in a laboratory, either in fish tanks or in tanks, thus having a controlled environment in which the behaviour of the samples can be continuously monitored. However, a confined enclosure differs considerably from an open space. While a fish in the wild will generally be subjected to a free sound field, when we talk about an enclosed area the conditions change markedly.
