Study of the acoustic pressure of offshore wind turbines on European seabass
My PhD is part of the research project ECHO aiming to assess acoustic pressures associated with offshore wind farms in the climate change context. I will explore this subject by focusing on a fish model species : the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Responses will be studied from the cellular level to the whole organism, using laboratory experiments, mesocosms and in situ experiments on the SEMREV test platform.

The main tasks of the thesis will be to (1) develop a noise exposure methodology, (2) explore the effects on ecophysiology from the point of view of energy metabolism and prey-predator interactions, (3) explore the effects on behaviour and (4) monitor growth and stress markers.
