A state-space model to derive motorboat noise effects on fish movement from acoustic tracking data

Abstract Motorboat noise is recognized as a major source of marine pollution, however little is known about its ecological consequences on coastal systems. We developed a State Space Model (SSM) that incorporates an explicit dependency on motorboat noise to derive its effects on the movement of resi...
