Abstract

The present technical report describe the experimental procedure adopted to investigate the behaviour (locomotor states and acoustic emissions) and biochemical (haemolymphatic parameters) responses of the European spiny lobster (Palinurus elephas) after the exposure to acoustic pollution consisting of boats noises. The locomotor analysis automatically estimated the movement/position events of lobsters, offering a novel, high-throughput method of measuring the relationship of the lobster compared to traditional manual analyses. The biochemical effect on the lobsters was evaluated by estimating the serum glucose concentration; total protein concentration; and THC, DHC and Hsp70 expression as stress indexes.
