Abstract

The behavioural responses of Nephrops noruegicus (L.) to acoustic stimuli have been investigated under laboratory and free field conditions. In the laboratory a distinct set of postural motor responses elicited, by sound frequencies of 20--180Hz, was identified. This set of responses was then exploited during free field experiments conducted in a Scottish sea loch to determine the acoustic response threshold. Nephrops were found to be displacement rather than pressure sensitive with a response threshold of 0.888$μ$m which was independent of frequency within the range 20--200Hz.
