The effect of sound on the behaviour of sharks has not been investigated since the 1970s.
Sound is, however, an important sensory stimulus underwater, as it can spread in all …

Sensory systems play a central role in guiding animal behaviour. They can be manipulated
to alter behavioural outcomes to limit negative interactions between humans and animals …

An underwater television system located off Bimini, Bahamas, was used to observe and
record the attraction of free-ranging sharks to a nearby sound source. Several species of …

Although almost 990 species of bony fish (Osteichthyes) actively produce sounds, evidence
for active sound production by elasmobranchs—sharks, rays, and skates—is scarce (Looby …

The acoustical factors responsible for eliciting withdrawal (180° turn and departure) from the
vicinity of a sound source by adult lemon sharks were investigated. Four sounds were …

Shark species play an important role in shaping marine communities, ecosystems, and
community assemblages, yet their high mobility and low abundances in certain locations …

Group behaviours are widespread among fish but comparatively little is known about the
interactions between free-ranging individuals and how these might change across different …
