“…After being processed, these signals are used by researchers to generate a wealth of information about the topography of the ocean floor and its underlying geological formations. Given that the use of air guns is currently the most important method of seismic prospecting (Wardle et al, 2001;Gausland, 2003), several studies have investigated the environmental impact of the use of air guns, particularly on shrimp fisheries (Andriguetto-Filho et al, 2005), marine turtles (McCauley et al, 2000), and mammals (Richardson et al, 1986;Au et al, 1997;Richardson & Wursig, 1997;Goold & Fish, 1998;Gordon et al, 1998;McCauley, 1998;Schlundt et al, 2000;McCauley & Duncan, 2001). Relatively few studies have been conducted on fish, focusing mostly on how seismic prospecting affects fish abundance (e.g.…”

“…Compared with sea mammals and fish, very few noise studies have evaluated the impact of acoustic pollution on crustaceans (Christian 2003;Andriguetto-Filho et al 2005;Celi et al 2013;Wale et al 2013), despite their high diversity, abundance, and economic importance.…”

Shipping noise affecting immune responses of European spiny lobster (Palinuruselephas)

Marine crustaceans are influenced by numerous environmental factors. Environmental stress from pollutants seems to affect their metabolism, growth, moulting, survival, and immune defence. Recently, it has become clear that there is an impact of the global increase in sea noise levels due to shipping traffic on crustacean welfare. Considering the ecological and commercial importance of the European spiny lobster (Palinurus elephas (Fabricius, 1787)) in most parts of the Mediterranean coastal area, in the present study we investigated whether shipping noise pollution contribute to changing the immune parameters of stress in the European spiny lobster. The animals were exposed to a mix of noises produced by different typologies of the boat played back in a tank, and the values of cellular and humeral parameters were evaluated. Total haemocyte count (THC), haemolymphatic protein concentration, phenoloxidase (PO) activity in cell-free haemolymph, and heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) expression in haemocyte lysate were considered potential biomarkers of stress. THC and PO activity decreased significantly, whereas total protein and Hsp27 expression increased significantly. Overall, the results demonstrate that the stressful conditions investigated in this study affect both cellular and biochemical parameters in the European spiny lobster.Résumé : Les crustacés marins sont sous l'influence de nombreux facteurs environnementaux. Le stress environnemental provenant des polluants semble avoir un impact sur le métabolisme, le développement, la mue, la capacité de survie et les défenses immunitaires. Il a récemment été découvert que l'influence croissante du niveau sonore marin, causé par le trafic maritime, avait un impact non négligeable sur la santé des crustacés. Compte tenu de l'importance économique et écologique de la langouste européenne (Palinurus elephas (Fabricius, 1787)) tout au long de la côte Méditerranéenne, nous nous sommes demandé dans cette étude si la pollution sonore liée au trafic maritime jouait un rôle sur les paramètres du stress immunitaire de la langouste européenne. Pour le vérifier, ces animaux ont été placés dans des aquariums et ont été exposés à un échantillon de bruits produits par différents bateaux. Pour cela, des données sur les paramètres cellulaires et humorales ont été recensés. Les paramètres suivants tels que : le compte total d'haemocyte (THC), la concentration en protéines haemolymphatiques, l'activité de la phenoloxidase (PO) sur les cellules libres de l'haemolymphe, l'expression de la protéine de choc thermique 27 (Hsp27) sur l'haemocyte lysate, ont été considérés comme de potentiels indicateurs de stress. Le THC et l'activité du PO présentent des baisses significatives tandis que le taux de protéines et l'expression du Hsp27 ont augmentés de manières significatives. Dans l'ensemble, les résultats de cette étude ont montré que les paramètres de stress qui ont été testés dans ce cas ont un impact, à la fois sur les paramètres cellulaires et biochimiques de la langouste européenne.Mots-c...

“…However, some studies have evaluated the effects of stimuli with very high sound pressure levels (e.g. air guns used for seismic surveys) on marine crustacean behavioural and biochemical parameters, such as haemocytes, serum proteins and enzymes, without significant effects (Christian et al, 2003;Andriguetto-Filho et al, 2005). For example, Payne et al (Payne et al, 2007) found that lobster exposed to very high as well as low sound levels had experienced no effect on delayed mortality or damage to the mechanosensory system associated with animal equilibrium and posture.…”

SUMMARYThis study examined the effects of an acoustic stimulus on the haemolymph and agonistic behaviour of the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii. The experiment was conducted in a tank equipped with a video recording system using six groups (three control and three test groups) of five adult crayfish (30 specimens in total). After 1h of habituation, the behaviour of the crayfish was monitored for 2h. During the second hour, the animals in the test groups were exposed to a linear sweep (frequency range 0.1-25kHz; peak amplitude 148dB rms re.1μPa at 12kHz) acoustic stimulus for 30min. Exposure to the noise produced significant variations in haemato-immunological parameters as well as a reduction in agonistic behaviour.
