Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Noise from human activities has increased and been shown to negatively impact marine animals. Marine mammals and fish are vulnerable to anthropogenic noise because they rely on sound to communicate, find food, avoid predators and sense their environment. Forage fish are small schooling pelagic fish, important to many predators and instrumental

Soundscape and the Adaptation of Soundscape to Covered Spaces
Megaron, 2011 Soundscape, as urban noise is termed, is essentially a qualitative approach which aims to discover ways to improve the “sonic environment”. A possible analogy can be assumed for the acoustic quality of some types of covered spaces which have a function similar to urban spaces. Furthermore, it can be proposed that such covered spaces may have a specific,
