한국해상풍력단지에서 PSAT를 이용한 어류의 이동 모니터링

Abstract

While offshore wind power is in the spotlight as a renewable energy resource, there are still several unresolved problems around it. Particularly, the construction and operation of offshore wind farms can generate noise, vibration, and suspended solids, which may affect various aspects of marine environment such as fish breeding and behaviors. However, no research has been conducted on effects of offshore wind farms on fish in Korea. Thus, this study aimed to monitor the movement of fish inhabiting the waters adjacent an offshore wind farm using pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs), a state-of-the-art monitoring method using satellites.
