Abstract

The aims of this study were to examine how swimming behavior of roach Rutilus rutilus and three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus were influenced by single-frequency sounds and noise generated by an offshore wind turbine, and the function of sound pressure level. In this study, two different species of fish were exposed to single-tone frequencies and sound generated by an offshore wind power plant.
