Due to extensive ecological impacts associated with these species, prevention of their further range expansion is the aim for fisheries management. Recent behavioral studies indicate bigheaded carps are deterred by acoustic barriers and exhibit negative phonotaxis in response to anthropogenic sound sources (\u2265 150 dB re 1 \u03bcPa SPLrms). However, the impact of long-term exposure to these sounds on the hearing capabilities of bigheaded carps has not been well documented. In this study, the auditory evoked potential (AEP) technique was used to determine auditory thresholds for both sound pressure (SPL) and particle acceleration levels (PAL) among bigheaded carps before and after exposure to high intensity (155.7 +- 4.7 dB re 1 \u03bcPa SPLrms; -8.0 +- 4.7 dB re 1 ms-2 PALrms; mean +- SD) broadband sound. Fish were exposed to sound for 30-min or 24-hr and AEP measurements were taken either immediately after exposure, 48-hr, or 96-hr later.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P98VVJH2", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.5dab3b10e4b09fd3b0c9d218.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_5dab3b10e4b09fd3b0c9d218", "keyword": ["USGS:5dab3b10e4b09fd3b0c9d218", "auditory evoked potential", "bighead carp", "biota", "broadband sound", "invasive carp", "silver carp", "temporary threshold shift"], "modified": "2021-06-08T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-180.0000, -90.0000, 180.0000, 90.0000", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Auditory thresholds for bighead and silver carp after sound exposure determined by the AEP technique: Data"}
