Publisher Summary Environmental noise can affect acoustic communication through limiting
the broadcast area, or active space, of a signal by decreasing signal-to-noise ratios at the …

There is increasing concern about the effects of pile driving and other anthropogenic
(human‐generated) sound on fishes. Although there is a growing body of reports examining …

Ocean ambient noise results from both anthropogenic and natural sources. Different noise
sources are dominant in each of 3 frequency bands: low (10 to 500 Hz), medium (500 Hz to …

The expansion of shipping and aquatic industrial activities in recent years has led to growing

As the last rays of sunlight disappear from the evening sky, a shallow marsh in Panama
begins to come alive with the calls of frogs and toads. Among these is a small yellow and …

This chapter, written from the perspective of four authors who have been studying fish
bioacoustics for over 120 years (cumulative!), examines the major issues of the field. Each …

Many underwater bioacoustical recording experiments (eg, fish sound production during
courtship or agonistic encounters) are usually conducted in a controlled laboratory …

There is increasing concern regarding the effect of human-generated (anthropogenic)
sounds on marine organisms. While most concern is focused on marine mammals, many of …
