“…In perch, the same pattern was found in the single-, but not in the mixedspecies enclosures. Lower feeding frequencies and changes in diet composition have previously been ob served in both the Mediterranean damselfish Chromis chromis and the mulloway Argyrosomus japonicus during periods of increased boating activity (Bracciali et al 2012, Payne et al 2015. The altered mulloway behaviour was suggested to be caused by stress, which is a common consequence of noise disturbance (Kight & Swaddle 2011).…”

“…Reduction in feeding rates in connection with increased boating activity has been found in mulloway Argyrosomus japonicus (Payne et al 2015) and in damselfish Chromis chromis (Bracciali et al 2012). Both three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus (Purser & Radford 2011) and zebrafish Danio rerio (Shafiei Sabet et al 2015) showed increased food-handling errors when exposed to sound.…”

The negative impact of anthropogenic noise on marine animals is receiving increasing attention. In order to study the effect of motorboat noise on foraging behaviour in fish, we chose 2 species with different hearing abilities. The roach Rutilus rutilus has a better developed sense of hearing than the Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis. The study took place in an inlet of the Bothnian Sea where boat traffic is almost absent. Groups of 6 fish were placed in field enclosures containing either one of the species or equal numbers of perch and roach. Half of each enclosure was covered with artificial vegetation. The fish were fed with pieces of saithe twice a day, both with and without the disturbance of an outboard motor. Sound pressure level and particle acceleration were measured for the motor, which was run at 2000 rpm. The trials were repeated for 5 d. Perch made fewer feeding attempts during noise exposure compared to controls in the singlespecies enclosures. As the experiment progressed, they gradually increased feeding and time spent in the open area, both with and without noise, indicating habituation. Habitat utilization was affected by the interaction of noise exposure and day. Roach responded to noise exposure with fewer feeding attempts, higher latency to enter the open area, and longer time spent in the vegetation compared to the controls without noise. Roach behaviour changed with time only when housed together with perch. This study, using authentic sound in a natural habitat, shows that noise exposure may affect the feeding behaviour of fish, that the response is species-specific, and that habituation and the presence of other species may modify the effects.

Abstract. Acoustic telemetry is used to investigate a diverse suite of questions regarding the biology and ecology of a range of aquatic species, and is an important tool for fisheries and conversation management. Herein we present a brief review of the Australian acoustic telemetry literature in the context of key areas of progress, drawing from several recent studies and identifying areas for future progress. Acoustic telemetry has been increasingly used in Australia over the past decade. This has included substantial investment in a national acoustic array and the associated development of a national acoustic telemetry database that enables tag deployment and detection data to be shared among researchers (the Integrated Marine Observing System Animal Tracking Facility). Acoustic telemetry has contributed to important areas of management, including public safety, design and management of marine protected areas, the use of closures in fisheries management, informing environmental flow regimes and the impacts of fisheries enhancements, and is most powerful when used as a complementary tool. However, individual variability in movement often confounds our ability to draw general conclusions when attempting to characterise broad-scale patterns, and more work is required to address this issue. This overview provides insight into the important role that acoustic telemetry plays in the research and management of Australian aquatic ecosystems. Application of the technology transcends aquatic environments and bureaucracies, and the patterns revealed are relevant to many of the contemporary challenges facing decision makers with oversight of aquatic populations or ecosystems.
