“…For example, while it is generally assumed that fishes with better hearing abilities, are more likely to show behavioural responses to sounds than less sensitive species, this may not always be the case. Comparisons of laboratory responses of D. rerio and Lake Victoria cichlids, such as Haplochromis piceatus Greenwood & Gee 1969, to sounds, the former having better hearing sensitivity (lower auditory thresholds) and a wider frequency range than the latter, showed that both species exhibited a significant reduction in swimming speed in the first minute of exposure that were not obviously related to differences in their hearing abilities (Shafiei Sabet et al, ). Similarly, Hawkins et al () showed that changes in the behaviour of schools of wild sprat Sprattus sprattus (L. 1758) and mackerel Scomber scombrus L. 1758, to sound playback took place at similar sound levels, despite major differences in their hearing abilities.…”

Fishes use a variety of sensory systems to learn about their environments and to communicate.Of the various senses, hearing plays a particularly important role for fishes in providing information, often from great distances, from all around these animals. This information is in all three spatial dimensions, often overcoming the limitations of other senses such as vision, touch, taste and smell. Sound is used for communication between fishes, mating behaviour, the detection of prey and predators, orientation and migration and habitat selection. Thus, anything that interferes with the ability of a fish to detect and respond to biologically relevant sounds can decrease survival and fitness of individuals and populations.

“…An increase in startle response when anthropogenic noise is present has been shown to negatively impact the escape response of some marine organisms (McLaughlin and Kunc 2015;Nedelec et al 2016;Sabet et al 2016), and the same effects would be expected for freshwater fish. Increases in noise cause a reduced startle response in juvenile European eels, resulting in an increased predator vulnerability (Simpson et al 2014).…”

“…Sheltering behaviour and a significant increase in OBR were no longer observed in the fish after chronic exposure (1 week), indicating animals that continually respond to anthropogenic stressors may be negatively impacted in terms of growth, reproduction, and survival, whereas those that habituate may have a decreased impact of noise and a better chance of survival (Nedelec et al 2016). Zebrafish exhibit a startle response and a brief increase in swimming speed when exposed to anthropogenic noise (Sabet et al 2016). Behavioural responses, such as an increase in startle events, sheltering, and a change in swim speed, can impact predation risks (Sabet et al 2016).…”

In recent years, the effects of anthropogenic noise on freshwater fish has been of increasing interest for fishery managers due to rising levels of this background noise. While it is clear that anthropogenic noise can have important impacts on mammals and marine fish, much less is known about these effects in fresh water. The influence of anthropogenic noise on freshwater fish can be quantified using the same methods as with marine species — through measuring changes in behavioural and physiological outputs. Here, we briefly review the literature regarding behavioural and physiological impacts of noise pollution on freshwater fish and further note the lack of incorporation of both behavioural and physiological measures within current studies. We call for an increased research emphasis on possible effects of anthropogenic noise on freshwater fish and further suggest that the integration of behavioural and physiological techniques is critical for a full understanding of these effects. While freshwater fish face many stressors, it is unclear how important anthropogenic noise really is, and this issue can only be properly resolved through careful study.

“…This is presumed to be a defense mechanism due to a perceived increase in predation risk (Shafiei Sabet et al. ). At this point, it is unclear if cod changed the actual depth they occupied during VP and VM in comparison to VA within the depression of the bay, thus we recommend that future studies incorporate depth, if possible, as a component into their design.…”

Anthropogenic noise associated with shipping has emerged as a major disruptor of aquatic animal behavior worldwide. The Arctic marine realm has historically experienced little noise‐generating human activity; however, the continual loss of sea ice has facilitated a dramatic increase in shipping activity. Here, we use a combination of acoustic telemetry and modeling of ship noise to examine the temporospatial habitat use of key Arctic forage fish, Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) in the presence and absence of vessels in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, Canada. The presence and movement of vessels induced a horizontal shift in the home ranges of Arctic cod with low core overlap when compared to periods without vessel activity. Home range displacement occurred near the vessel. Individuals also altered their swimming behaviors in response to vessel presence with searching decreasing and travelling increasing in proportion. Results indicate that Arctic cod perceive vessel noise and presence as a threat and react by moving away and decreasing exploratory activities. These changes in fish behavior also coincide with the critical open water feeding period suggesting an interruption in exploitation of important and seasonally abundant food resources, and carry broader implications for dependent seabirds and marine mammals, and indirectly for all Arctic indigenous peoples’ subsistence and long‐term cultural traditions. Our study implies that strategic management is required for aquatic acoustic disturbance as an environmental stressor in the Arctic marine ecosystem, and highlights ecologically and socially important impacts that require timely conservation action.
