This Technical Report presents the outcome of a Working Group that
was established to determine broadly applicable sound exposure
guidelines for fishes and sea turtles. After consideration of the
diversity of fish and sea turtles, guidelines were developed for
broad groups of animals, defined by the way they detect sound.
Different sound sources were considered in terms of their acoustic
characteristics and appropriate metrics defined for measurement of
the received levels. The resultant sound exposure guidelines are
presented in a set of tables. In some cases numerical guidelines
are provided, expressed in appropriate metrics. When there were
insufficient data to support numerical values, the "relative
"likelihood of effects occurring was evaluated, although the
"actual" likelihood of effects depends on the received level. These
sound exposure guidelines, which are based on the best scientific
information at the time of writing, should be treated as interim.
The expectation is that with more research the guidelines can be
refined and more cells in the tables completed. Recommendations are
put forward defining the research requirements of highest priority
for extending these interim exposure guidelines.
