“…Laboratory‐to‐field extrapolation remains tricky (but see Pieniazek et al. 2020): playbacks of recorded sounds in experimental units do not fully reproduce what animals experience in the field and many environmental variables are likely to influence individual responses. However, lab experiments have the merit of providing valuable insights on the behavioural mechanisms that may affect ecological features such as interaction strength.…”

Freshwater communities worldwide include many exotic invasive species whose spread is facilitated by the increase in shipping for commercial and recreational purposes (Levine & D'Antonio, 2003; Perrings et al., 2005; Reid et al., 2019). Tolerance to human-induced environmental changes such as thermal stress (Zerebecki & Sorte, 2011), hypoxia (Lagos et al. 2017), and increased salinity (Ellis & MacIsaac, 2009) contributes to the success of invasive species.Among the various threats to freshwater communities (Dudgeon et al., 2006), the degradation of soundscapes concomitant with commercial and recreational activities is considered an emerging

“…There was a lack of consensus among workgroup members about the value of initial lab studies to inform the choice of field studies, and specifically, whether the behavior and physiology of animals restrained in tanks or pens is at all similar to what they would exhibit in response to a stimulus when in the wild and unrestrained. Comparisons between field and laboratory responses within a species would be a profitable avenue to explore this question (e.g., Pieniazek et al, 2020). • Develop methods to examine behavioral effects of substrate vibration on invertebrates (e.g., Roberts and Elliott, 2017;Roberts and Howard, 2021).…”

There are substantial knowledge gaps regarding both the bioacoustics and the responses of animals to sounds associated with pre-construction, construction, and operations of offshore wind (OSW) energy development. A workgroup of the 2020 State of the Science Workshop on Wildlife and Offshore Wind Energy identified studies for the next five years to help stakeholders better understand potential cumulative biological impacts of sound and vibration to fishes and aquatic invertebrates as the OSW industry develops. The workgroup identified seven short-term priorities that include a mix of primary research and coordination efforts. Key research needs include the examination of animal displacement and other behavioral responses to sound, as well as hearing sensitivity studies related to particle motion, substrate vibration, and sound pressure. Other needs include: identification of priority taxa on which to focus research; standardization of methods; development of a long-term highly instrumented field site; and examination of sound mitigation options for fishes and aquatic invertebrates. Effective assessment of potential cumulative impacts of sound and vibration on fishes and aquatic invertebrates is currently precluded by these and other knowledge gaps. However, filling critical gaps in knowledge will improve our understanding of possible sound-related impacts of OSW energy development to populations and ecosystems. V

“…Other studies under field conditions have also focused on the effects of sound on fish species. In a comparative study both in a field study in the Laurentian Great Lakes also under laboratory conditions Pieniazek et al, 2020 shown that experimental generated white noise and boat noise have changed swimming patterns and foraging behaviour of freshwater fish species in different ways and with highly variable patterns by family. They demonstrated that captive black bullhead, Ameiurus melas, foraged less and startled more when exposed to both white noise and boat noise treatments.…”

“…Many marine and freshwater fishes have well-developed hearing abilities that provide them a key biological privilege to detect sound and perceive a broad range of frequencies (Hawkins, 1986;Heath et al, 2021;Wahlberg and Westerberg, 2005;Wysocki et al, 2006). While there are well-documented studies regarding the effects of sound on the behaviour of marine fishes (de Jong et al, 2018a;Mortensen et al, 2021;Peng et al, 2015), and its adverse repercussions in many marine fish species at the individual and community level, yet much less is known across the current literature about these effects on the behaviour of freshwater fish and has not received sufficient interest so far (Fedoroff, 2021;Mickle and Higgs, 2018;Pieniazek et al, 2020). Moreover, sound exposure can also change spatial distribution and swimming behaviour of fish which may consequently affect ecologically on their avoiding to forage in noisy food areas and their navigations but also change biologically their swimming activities and foraging performance (de Vincenzi et al, 2021;Hanache et al, 2020;Hubert et al, 2021;Shafiei Sabet et al, 2016a).…”

Anthropogenic sound is currently recognized as a source of environmental pollution in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Elevated sound levels may cause a broad range of impacts on aquatic organisms among taxa. Sound is an important sensory stimulus for aquatic organisms and it may cause fluctuations in stress-related physiological indices and in a broader extent induce behavioural effects such as driving as a distracting stimulus, masking important relevant acoustic signals and cues in a range of marine and freshwater species. However, sound exposure may also induce changes in swimming activities, feed efficiency and productivity of available food sources in fish. Here, we experimentally tested sound effects on swimming activities and foraging performance in thirty adult Zebrafish (Danio rerio) individually in captivity. We used adult zebrafish and water flea (Daphnia magna) as model predator prey, respectively. We also used four sound treatments with different temporal patterns (all in the same frequency range and moderate exposure level). Our results constitute strong evidence for clear sound-related effects on zebrafish behaviour. All sound treatments induced a significant increase in the number of startle response, brief and prolonged swimming speed for zebrafish (P<0.05). Zebrafish reached to the baseline swimming speed after 60 seconds in all treatments. We found partially brief and prolonged sound effects on spatial distribution of zebrafish; Although we did not find any significant sound-related behavioural changes for horizontal spatial displacement in all treatments (P>0.05), zebrafish swam significantly more in the lower layer of the fish tank except irregular intermittent 1:1-7 in brief sound exposure (P<0.05). The results of foraging performance showed that food discrimination error was low for the zebrafish and unaffected by sound treatments (P>0.05). However, food handling error was affected by sound treatments; all treatments caused a rise in handling error (P<0.001). This study highlights the impact of sound on zebrafish swimming activities, and that more attacks are needed to consume the same number of prey items under noisy conditions.
