“…The use of ultrasonic frequencies in stock assessments has become relatively common place; however, some of these frequencies are detectable by American shad (Alosa sapidissima) which respond with an avoidance behavior [1][2][3][4]. Sound is most often defined as a disturbance of density that propagates within a medium, e.g., water [5].…”

“…The unique bottom type morphology of a location can affect the rate of sound attenuation depending on the hardness of the substrate present [5]. Different frequencies (sound quality) and power levels (sound quantity) can be heard according to the hearing sensitivity of the organism attempting to identify the sound [2].…”

“…The unique auditory capabilities of Clupeiformes, allows for the application of high-frequency sounds as a deterrent to prevent entrainment in both dams and power plants [2]. Steam or hydro-powered electricity generating stations often entrain and kill fish and can therefore have a negative impact on fish populations.…”

“…The use of high frequency sounds as a method for stock assessment, as well as understanding and modifying the schooling and individual behavior of A. sapidissima is a relatively new concept with promising results [2]. Using high frequency echo-sounders as a method of stock assessment for A. sapidissima has recently come into question due to the avoidance behavior witnessed by researchers [2][3][4]11].…”

“…Using high frequency echo-sounders as a method of stock assessment for A. sapidissima has recently come into question due to the avoidance behavior witnessed by researchers [2][3][4]11]. These stock assessments often use frequencies of 120 kHz and 200 kHz, which can be sensed within the upper end of the hearing spectrum of A. sapidissima and can potentially elicit an avoidance behavior [11].…”

BackgroundThe Weberian apparatus enhances hearing in otophysan fishes, including Zebrafish (Danio rerio). Several studies have examined aspects of morphological development of the Weberian apparatus and hearing ability in Zebrafish. A comprehensive developmental description including both hard and soft tissues is lacking. This information is critical for both interpretation of genetic developmental analyses and to better understand the role of morphogenesis and integration on changes in hearing ability.ResultsHistological development of hard and soft tissues of the Weberian apparatus, including ossicles, ear, swim bladder, and ligaments are described from early larval stages (3.8 mm notochord length) through adult. Results show a strong relationship in developmental timing and maturation across all regions. All required auditory elements are present and morphologically integrated early, by 6.5 mm SL. Dynamic ossification patterns and changes in shape continue throughout the examined developmental period.ConclusionsThis study provides the first comprehensive histological description of Weberian apparatus development in Zebrafish. Morphological integration was found early, before increases in hearing ability were detected in functional studies (>10 mm total length), suggesting morphological integration precedes functional integration. Further research is needed to examine the nature of the functional delay, and how maturation of the Weberian apparatus influences functionality.

The Weberian apparatus of otophysan fishes confers acute hearing that is hypothesized to allow these fishes to assess the environment and to find food resources. The otophysan family Serrasalmidae (piranhas and pacus) includes species known to feed on falling fruits and seeds (frugivore/granivores) that splash in rivers, herbivorous species associated with torrents and rapids (rheophiles), and carnivores that feed aggressively within shoals. Relevant sound stimuli may vary among these ecological groups and hearing may be tuned to different cues among species.In this context, we examined size variation of the Weberian ossicles, swim bladder chambers, and otoliths of 20 serrasalmid species from three broad feeding ecologies: frugivore/granivores, rheophiles, and carnivores. We performed 3D-reconstructions of high resolution tomographic data (μCT) from 54 museum specimens to estimate the size of these elements. We then tested for an ecology effect on covariation of auditory structure size and body size and accounted for phylogeny with phylogenetic generalized least squares analyses. Among ecological groups, we observed differences in relative sizes of otoliths associated with sound pressure and particle motion detection, and variation in Weberian ossicle size that may impact sound transmission.Rheophiles, which live in noisy environments, possess the strongest modifications of these structures.
