Characteristic noise of offshore wind turbine impacts the behavior and muscle physiology of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus #CHN

Abstract: Sea cucumbers play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance through their unique behaviors and physiological functions. However, the noise from offshore wind turbines disrupts the habitat environment of the sea cucumber, potentially altering their behavior and physiology. Nevertheless, limited research exists on how noise from offshore wind turbines affects the sea cucumbers. In our study, we explored the effects of specific wind turbine noise frequencies on the behavior and muscle metabolism of sea cucumbers through four experimental groups: . . .
