Abstract |
The effect of motorboat noise on stress responsiveness in Eurasian perch and roach was tested in field enclosure experiments. Perch showed elevated cortisol levels after one 30-min noise exposure but not when exposed to noise repeatedly for 11 days. Roach had higher cortisol levels when exposed to noise than without noise when short- and long-term experiments were pooled. Both species had more cortisol in enclosures with mixed species compared with single-species enclosures. Both species also had higher cortisol levels in the short-term compared with the long-term experiment. Thus, a stress effect of motorboat noise may decrease with time due to habituation. |
