Potential for acoustic masking due to shipping noise in the European lobster (Homarus gammarus)
International audience Marine traffic is the most pervasive underwater anthropogenic noise pollution which can mask acoustic communication in marine mammals and fish, but its effect in marine invertebrates remains unknown. Here, we performed an at sea experiment to study the potential of shipping no...
