随着对水下人为噪声对生物体听觉功能影响的关注增加,必须评估是否所有生物体都同样受到相同噪声源的影响。因此,需要对生物体的听觉能力进行专门的评估和比较。由于其不同的听力能力,Telost鱼为研究这些问题提供了极好的模型。大体上,鱼类可以被归类为听力专家(听力频率范围宽,听力阈值低)或康复多面手(频率范围窄,听力阈值高)。本研究的目的是研究白噪声暴露(0.3-2.0 kHz,142dBRe:1 Mupa)和暴露后恢复(1-6天)对康复多面手太阳鱼(Lepomis Macchirus)的即刻影响。与没有暴露在噪声中的鱼相比,噪声暴露只导致了轻微的听觉阈值上升,但在统计学上没有显著意义。结合我们之前研究噪声对听力专家鱼(Pimephales Proelas)影响的结果,这项研究提供了证据,支持鱼类的听觉阈值可能受到噪声暴露的不同影响的假设。(C)2002 Elsevier Science Inc.保留所有权利。
As concerns about the effects of underwater anthropogenic noises on the auditory function of organisms increases, it is imperative to assess if all organisms are equally affected by the same noise source. Consequently, auditory capabilities of an organism need to be evaluated and compared interspecifically. Telcost fishes provide excellent models to examine these issues due to their diversity of hearing capabilities. Broadly, fishes can be categorized as hearing specialists (broad hearing frequency range with low auditory thresholds) or healing generalists (narrower frequency range with higher auditory thresholds). The goal of this study was to examine the immediate effects of white noise exposure (0.3-2.0 kHz, 142 dB re: 1 muPa) and recovery after exposure (1-6 days) on a healing generalist fish, bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus). Noise exposure resulted in only a slight, but not statistically significant, elevation in auditory threshold compared to fish not exposed to noise. In combination with results from our previous studies examining effects of noise on a hearing specialist fish, the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas), this study provides evidence supporting the hypothesis that fish's auditory thresholds can be differentially affected by noise exposure.
