    Abstract
    The problem: All sound comprises fluctuations in pressure and particle motion (PM) and all fishes and many aquatic invertebrates detect PM. Noise is unwanted or harmful sound, and underwater anthropogenic noise is a global pollutant. Therefore, a large proportion of marine life is potentially threatened by PM created by anthropogenic activity. There is building evidence that anthropogenic noise is detrimental to the health and survival of fishes and aquatic invertebrates, but the importance of PM to these effects remains unclear because until recently very few PM measurements have been taken, with studies mainly relying on sound pressure measurements to estimate PM exposure levels. In theory, PM cannot be predicted effectively from sound pressure in certain physical conditions. These physical conditions tend to be near the surface and the bottom, or in shallow water such as near shore, in lakes and rivers etc., where most aquatic life is found. Thus, there is a need to measure PM to e.....
