Underwater sound is directional and can convey important information about the
surrounding environment or the animal emitting the sound. Therefore, sound is a major …

Anthropogenic noise across the world's oceans threatens the ability of vocalizing marine
species to communicate. Some species vocalize at key life stages or whilst foraging, and …

Examination of fish responses to sound stimuli has a rich and varied history but it is not
always clear when responses are true measures of hearing or the lateral-line. The central …

Anthropogenic stressors, such as plastics and fishing, are putting coastal habitats under
immense pressure. However, sound pollution from small boats has received little attention …

Soundscapes provide a new tool for the study of fish communities. Bigeyes (Pempheris
