This paper describes the amount of food consumption and the change of total weight of abalone under a vibration with noise that can be occurred due to piling work. This experiment was conducted in the aquarium in Yosu National University. In normal situation the juvenile stage shell`s(total length is 1~1.5cm) amount of food consumption was 0.81g, the middle stage shell(total length is 3~3.5cm) was 13.61g, and the adult stage shell (Total length is 7~7.5cm) was 43.19g per 5 organisms in 24 hours, while the experimental group was observed low numerical value compared normal groups.
The abalones' food consumption and total weight in both groups, the intermittent and continuance impact with noise and vibration, was reduced during this experiment. The abalones' food consumption and total weight in the experimental groups without vibration were recorded slightly high numerical value than the experimental groups with noise and vibration.
Based on this experimental data we could conjecture the noise and vibration are harmful factors to bring up a physiological stress to abalones. Especially, the vibration impact by piling works could produce a considerably unfavorable effect to the abalones than noise impact.
