Physiological stress increased at 250 Hz in fiddler crabs, as indicated by changed lactate and ATP levels.
At 250 Hz, lactate levels were higher, while ATP concentrations were lower among exposed crabs compared to controls.
Assessment used RT-PCR to measure HSP70 gene expression and physiological indicators post-vibration exposure.
Findings may signal the need for monitoring vibroacoustic pollution affecting marine life.
