Sound as an Orientation Cue for the Pelagic Larvae of Reef Fishes and Decapod Crustaceans

TL;DR: A diverse series of field experiments including light-trap catches enhanced by replayed reef sound, in situ observations of behaviour and sound-enhanced settlement rate on patch reefs collectively provide a compelling case that sound is used as an orientation and settlement cue for these late larval stages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ocean acidification erodes crucial auditory behaviour in a marine fish

TL;DR: This study provides, to the authors' knowledge, the first evidence that ocean acidification affects the auditory response of fishes, with potentially detrimental impacts on early survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

The soundscape of the Anthropocene ocean.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that ocean sound affects marine animals at multiple levels, including their behavior, physiology, and, in extreme cases, survival, which should prompt management actions to deploy existing solutions to reduce noise levels in the ocean, thereby allowing marine animals to reestablish their use of ocean sound as a central ecological trait.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anthropogenic noise increases fish mortality by predation

TL;DR: It is suggested that a common source of noise in the marine environment has the potential to impact fish demography, highlighting the need to include anthropogenic noise in management plans.
