UM Study Shows Sonar Did Not Harm Fish
A research team, headed by Arthur N. Popper,
biology professor at the University of Maryland and expert in fish
hearing, and University of Maryland Research
Associate, Michele Halvorsen, Ph.D., found that exposure to high intensity, low frequency sonar
did not kill rainbow trout, nor did it damage the
fishes' auditory systems. Their study was published in the July issue of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.
