Evaluation of acoustic environmental effects and improvement method of ecological fish-nest bricks in the Yangtze River Basin: A model-based case study
With the rapid development of the Yangtze River Basin, the issue of underwater noise pollution has become increasingly severe, which has adversely affected aquatic creatures, particularly fish. Ecological fish-nest bricks (EFNBs), a new type of eco-friendly revetment, can provide a favorable habitat for fish. However, its effects on the acoustic environment remain unclear. The finite element numerical simulation method of acoustic-structure coupling is adopted to explore the acoustic environment of EFNBs, analyzing the impact of sound source frequency (within 300 Hz), structural forms, and arrangement of these bricks on the internal sound pressure level. The sound pressure level distribution of A-EFNBs were also analyzed at a distance of 0–0.5 m from the opening. A method of acoustic environment improvement is proposed, which utilizes porous polyurethane sponge (PPS) sound-absorbing material to establish a conducive acoustic environment for fish in EFNBs. The study results indicate that at low frequencies of sound source (f ≤ 150 Hz), the sound pressure level within EFNBs slightly decreases compared to the adjacent areas without EFNBs. The sound pressure level variation within the bricks increases with sound source frequency. The peak sound pressure increases with the number of openings. Interval arrangements can in general decrease sound pressure by less than 20 dB. At higher frequencies(f>200 Hz), the sound pressure level at the opening of the A-EFNBs tends to increase. However, the PPS sound-absorbing material substantially reduces the sound pressure level by 15 –55 dB, rendering it an effective method for improving the acoustic environment for fish. The PPS sound-absorbing material is more suitable for habitat improvement of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) with relatively low hearing thresholds among the four famous Chinese carps. The research findings can serve as a reference for designing and implementing river ecological restoration projects.
