- Abstract
The article focuses on the study which evaluates the effects of the noise disturbance from recreational boating on the cardiac physiology of the fish. It states that the study was conducted to a largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) in which the cardiac output, heart rate, and stroke volume were monitored to determine the magnitude of disturbance and the time required for recovery. The study uses a Latin square design to differentiate the fish responses to three disturbances such as canoe paddling, trolling motor, and combustion engine. Details on the result of the study which demonstrate that fish experienced sublethal physiological disturbances in response to noise are also offered.
