Metadata: 2010, Cefas, COWRIE Research, Effects of Pile-Driving Noise on the Behaviour of Marine Fish
Abstract:
The objective of this project was to perform experimental research on effects of pile-driving noise on cod and sole. The study was intended to improve the understanding of the threshold of exposure that lead to behavioural responses in commercially important fish. A further objective was to define the characteristics, the scale and the duration of responses as a function of sound exposure. Finally, the study aimed to interpret the results in light of pile-driving operations in the marine environment. The results of the study shall guide regulatory advice and the implementation of mitigation measures in the construction of offshore wind farms in UK waters.

| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2010, Cefas, COWRIE Research, Effects of Pile-Driving Noise on the Behaviour of Marine Fish |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Effects of Pile-Driving Noise on the Behaviour of Marine Fish |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | c715b336-3768-436b-b225-f6760947fbb6 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-282 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-03-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-03-01 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This study is the first to document behavioural response of marine fish due to playbacks of pile-driving sounds. The results indicate that a range of received sound pressure and particle motion levels will trigger behavioural responses in sole and cod. The results further imply a relatively large zone of behavioural response to pile-driving sounds in marine fish. Yet, the exact nature and extent of the behavioural response needs to be investigated further. Some of our results point toward habituation to the sound. |
