A FINNISH researcher plants to study fish in an aquarium while a rock group performs nearby, to see if the sound causes any ill-effects or distress.Bands including aging rockers Uriah Heep will perform on Friday night to about 3000 fans in a tent just a couple of dozen metres away from the aquarium.
"I will be looking for any abnormal behavior or activity," said researcher Mikko Erkinaro.
The 500,000l tank is home to salmon, trout, pike and perch and other species common in Finland's brackish coastal waters.
"It could be quite nasty to arrange such an aquarium and a performance venue (so close)," Erkinaro said, "especially when the (band) is a bit old-fashioned."
