Exposure to seismic air gun signals causes physiological harm and alters behavior in the scallop Pecten fumatus [Sustainability Science]

Seismic surveys map the seabed using intense, low-frequency sound signals that penetrate kilometers into the Earth's crust. Little is known regarding how invertebrates, including economically and ecologically important bivalves, are affected by exposure to seismic signals. In a series of field-based experiments, we investigate the impact of exposure to seismic...
