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
Stephen D. Simpson,Philip L. Munday,Matthew L. Wittenrich,R. P. Manassa,Danielle L. Dixson,Monica Gagliano,Hong Young Yan +6 more
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.

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
Stephen D. Simpson,Andrew N. Radford,Sophie L. Nedelec,Maud C. O. Ferrari,Douglas P. Chivers,Mark I. McCormick,Mark G. Meekan +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continental Shelf-Wide Response of a Fish Assemblage to Rapid Warming of the Sea
Stephen D. Simpson,Simon Jennings,Simon Jennings,Mark P. Johnson,Julia L. Blanchard,Julia L. Blanchard,Pieter-Jan Schön,David W. Sims,David W. Sims,Martin J. Genner,Martin J. Genner +10 more
TL;DR: The full impacts of warming on the commercially important European continental shelf fish assemblage are assessed using a data-driven Eulerian (grid-based) approach that accommodates spatial heterogeneity in ecological and environmental conditions.
