Changes in Fish Catch Rates in the Presence of Air Gun Sounds in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

Air guns used in oil industry seismic surveys have the capacity to change fish catch rates, but no previous work has demonstrated this effect in shallow water or in Arctic oilfields. Long-term monitoring of fish catches using four fyke nets allowed assessment of changes in catch rates during a 2014 seismic survey in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. Fyke net locations were instrumented with both conventional hydrophones and vector sensors. Catch rates were generally within the range of those found in 27 previous sampling seasons. The effect of air guns on eight species was assessed using a modified Before-After/Control-Impact analysis, with historical data and 2014 data as the Before-After components of the analysis and days without and with air gun activity as the Control-Impact components. Results showed significant changes associated with air guns in catch rates at one or more nets at p < 0.1 for all eight species and at p < 0.05 for seven of the eight. Changes included both increased and decreased catch rates, perhaps reflecting displacement of fish in response to air gun sounds throughout the study area. Measured sound pressure levels associated with air gun pulses were low and usually undetectable close to the fyke nets, reflecting the loss of low frequencies in shallow water (~1.5 m). Attempts to measure particle velocities failed when wind-driven surface waves overwhelmed vector sensors. However, fish responses may have been related to changes in particle motion associated with air gun sounds.Les armes à air comprimé dont on se sert pour faire les levés sismiques dans l’industrie pétrolière ont la capacité de changer le taux de capture des poissons, mais aucune étude n’a jamais démontré l’effet de ces armes dans les eaux peu profondes ou dans les champs pétrolifères de l’Arctique. La surveillance à long terme des prises de poissons à l’aide de quatre verveux a permis d’évaluer les changements en matière de taux de prises pendant un levé sismique qui a eu lieu à Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, en 2014. Les emplacements de verveux ont été munis d’hydrophones classiques et de capteurs de vecteur. De manière générale, les taux de prises coïncidaient avec la gamme répertoriée au cours des 27 saisons d’échantillonnage précédentes. L’effet des armes à air comprimé sur huit espèces a été évalué au moyen d’une analyse modifiée avant-après/contrôle-impact, les données historiques et les données de 2014 représentant les composantes avant-après de l’analyse, puis les jours avec et les jours sans activité d’armes à air comprimé représentant les composantes contrôle-impact de l’analyse. Les résultats ont permis de constater d’importants changements liés à l’emploi d’armes à air comprimé pour ce qui est des taux de prises à un ou plusieurs verveux, à p < 0,1 pour les huit espèces, et à p < 0,05 pour sept des huit espèces. Les changements se sont caractérisés à la fois par des taux de prises plus élevés et moins élevés, ce qui reflétait peut-être le déplacement des poissons en raison du son des armes à air comprimé dans la zone visée par l’étude. Les niveaux de pression sonore mesurés en lien avec les impulsions d’armes à air comprimé étaient faibles et habituellement indétectables à proximité des verveux, signe de la perte des ondes kilométriques dans l’eau peu profonde (~1,5 m). Les tentatives de mesure des vitesses acoustiques des particules ont échoué lorsque les ondes de surface poussées par le vent submergeaient les capteurs de vecteur. Toutefois, la réaction des poissons aurait pu être liée aux changements sur le plan du mouvement des particules découlant du son des armes à air comprimé

Pathogenesis of experimental bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE): estimation of tissue infectivity according to incubation period§

This paper reports the results of tissue infectivity assays of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent in orally exposed cattle at stages during the incubation period. Estimations of the titre of infectivity in central nervous system (CNS), certain peripheral nerve ganglia and distal ileum tissue were made according to time post exposure from the relationship between incubation period and dose for RIII mice and C57bl mice using data from titrations of brain material from cases of BSE. The rate of increase of infectivity in the bovine CNS was then estimated, taking into account these tissue infectivity titres, the variability of the brain titre of clinical field cases of BSE, and the probability density of the expected number of months before clinical onset of each infected bovine. The doubling time for CNS was shown to equal 1.2 months. The titre in the thoracic dorsal root ganglia (DRG) was, on average, approximately 1 log units less than CNS, and cervical DRG approximately 0.5 log less than thoracic DRG. The pattern of increase of infectivity in the distal ileum is that of an initial increase up to 14–18 months post exposure, followed by a decrease, which is likely to be highly variable between animals. These results will be informative for future risk assessments of BSE, especially in relation to reviewing current control measures

Afferent Connectivity of the Zebrafish Habenulae

The habenulae are bilateral nuclei located in the dorsal diencephalon that are conserved across vertebrates. Here we describe the main afferents to the habenulae in larval and adult zebrafish. We observe afferents from the subpallium, nucleus rostrolateralis, posterior tuberculum, posterior hypothalamic lobe, median raphe; we also see asymmetric afferents from olfactory bulb to the right habenula, and from the parapineal to the left habenula. In addition, we find afferents from a ventrolateral telencephalic nucleus that neurochemical and hodological data identify as the ventral entopeduncular nucleus (vENT), confirming and extending observations of Amo et al. (2014). Fate map and marker studies suggest that vENT originates from the diencephalic prethalamic eminence and extends into the lateral telencephalon from 48 to 120 hour post-fertilization (hpf). No afferents to the habenula were observed from the dorsal entopeduncular nucleus (dENT). Consequently, we confirm that the vENT (and not the dENT) should be considered as the entopeduncular nucleus “proper” in zebrafish. Furthermore, comparison with data in other vertebrates suggests that the vENT is a conserved basal ganglia nucleus, being homologous to the entopeduncular nucleus of mammals (internal segment of the globus pallidus of primates) by both embryonic origin and projections, as previously suggested by Amo et al.

Overview of the fifth international conference on the effects of noise on aquatic life

The Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life took place in Den Haag, the Netherlands, in July 2019. The potential effects on animals ranging from plankton, shrimps, crabs, and lobsters, to fishes, seals, dolphins, and whales were discussed. Reported effects include behavioral responses, auditory masking, cardiac rate changes, stress, a temporary loss of hearing, and perhaps more serious tissue and organ damage. Short-term and long-term, individual and population-level effects were portrayed. Several studies also looked at the fundamentals of animal sound production and perception. One session dealt with the regulation and management of underwater noise. Another integral part of the meeting focused on the sounds and sound sources that might affect aquatic life. As a consequence, underwater noise from pile driving, seismic surveying, shipping, and sonars, as well as from non-anthropogenic sources such as wind and waves was examined. The social program was intended to encourage more leisurely discussions amongst conference participants in order to facilitate networking and the strengthening of relationships. The feedback from conference delegates (submitted via an online survey after the meeting) was very positive

Auditory sensitivity in aquatic animals

© 2016 Acoustical Society of America. A critical concern with respect to marine animal acoustics is the issue of hearing "sensitivity," as it is widely used as a criterion for the onset of noise-induced effects. Important aspects of research on sensitivity to sound by marine animals include: uncertainties regarding how well these species detect and respond to different sounds; the masking effects of man-made sounds on the detection of biologically important sounds; the question how internal state, motivation, context, and previous experience affect their behavioral responses; and the long-term and cumulative effects of sound exposure. If we are to better understand the sensitivity of marine animals to sound we must concentrate research on these questions. In order to assess population level and ecological community impacts new approaches can possibly be adopted from other disciplines and applied to marine fauna
