Abstract
To reveal a potential effect of acoustic noises on fish behavior, the sound pressure levels and spectral. composition of noises have been me asured and a hydroacoustic survey has been carried out at areas where gas pipelines cross over rivers. It is shown that noise levels signifi cantly exceed the threshold sensitivity of the lateral-line acoustic s ystem in fish. The potential effect of noises on migratory behavior of fish is discussed.
