Sex Associated Effects of Noise Pollution in Stone Sculpin () as a Model Object in the Context of Human-Induced Rapid Environmental Change.

This work simulates the consequences of HIREC using stone sculpins as model organisms. Sex-dependent effects of long-term noise exposure at mean sound pressure levels of 160-179 dB re 1 μPa (SPL) were measured. We applied a multilevel approach to testing the stress response: a comparative analysis of the macula sacculi and an assessment of hematological and molecular stress responses.

Molecular and cellular responses to long-term sound exposure in peled (Coregonus peled).

This research examined the impacts of acoustic stress in peled (Coregonus peled Gmelin, 1788), a species commonly cultivated in Russia. This study presents a comparative analysis of the macula sacculi and otoliths, as well as primary hematological and secondary telomere stress responses, in control and sound-exposed peled. The authors measured the effects of long-term (up to 18 days) exposure to a 300 Hz tone at mean sound pressure levels of 176-186 dB re 1 μPa (SPL); the frequency and intensity were selected to approximate loud acoustic environments associated with cleaning equipment in aquaculture settings.
