The detrimental effects of anthropogenic underwater noise on marine organisms have garnered significant attention among scientists. This review delves into the research concerning the repercussions of underwater noise on marine species, with specific emphasis on the physiological and molecular responses of marine biota. This review investigates the sensory mechanisms, hearing sensitivity, and reaction thresholds of diverse marine organisms, shedding light on their susceptibility to underwater noise disturbances. The physiological and molecular effects of anthropogenic underwater noise on marine biota include oxidative stress, energy homeostasis, metabolism, immune function, and respiration. Additionally, changes in the gene expression profile associated with oxidative stress, metabolism, and immunological response are among the responses reported for marine biota. These effects pose a threat to animal fitness and potentially affect their survival as individuals and populations.

Ocean noise generated by human activities at sea has been increasing over the decades, affecting marine ecosystems. Ship traffic flow between the Mediterranean or South Atlantic and northern Europe makes the coast of Portugal one of the most intense shipping highways on a global scale. Among the cetaceans of the coast of Portugal, the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) was selected as a target species.

Underwater noise data were collected from 84 pile drives during bridge construction at various sites in Florida. These data were used to develop an empirically based model for underwater transmission loss associated with root mean squared, peak, and sound exposure level values. The model was verified using readings from other datasets as well as data from this study, and it appeared to reproduce reported transmission loss coefficient values well when data were curated to match data used in the empirical model's development and limited to situations where robust data were used in model development.

Underwater simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) has significant challenges due to the complexities of underwater environments, marked by limited visibility, variable conditions, and restricted global positioning system (GPS) availability. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of sensor fusion techniques in underwater SLAM, highlighting the amalgamation of proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors to improve UUV navigational accuracy and system resilience. Essential sensor applications, including inertial measurement units (IMUs), Doppler velocity logs (DVLs), cameras, sonar, and LiDAR (light detection and ranging), are examined for their contributions to navigation and perception.

The underwater imaging process is often hindered by high noise levels, blurring, and color distortion due to light scattering, absorption, and suspended particles in the water. To address the challenges of image enhancement in complex underwater environments, this paper proposes an underwater image color correction and detail enhancement model based on an improved Cycle-consistent Generative Adversarial Network (CycleGAN), named LPIPS-MAFA CycleGAN (LM-CycleGAN). The model integrates a Multi-scale Adaptive Fusion Attention (MAFA) mechanism into the generator architecture to enhance its ability to perceive image details.

The problem of marine noise pollution has a long history. Strong noise (>120 dB re 1 µPa) will affects the growth, development, physiological responses, and behaviors of fish, and also can induce the stress response, posing a mortal threat. Although many studies have reported that underwater noise may affect the survival of fish by disturbing their nervous system and endocrine system, the underlying causes of death due to noise stimulation remain unknown.
