“…In many species, a certain sound pressure level needs to be reached before the behaviour is affected, and some fish species do not show startle responses to sounds no matter how loud they are. Researchers have investigated the effects of specific sounds on the behaviour of marine fish species, and responses vary greatly (Moulton and Backus, 1955;Hawkins, 1986;Myrberg, 1990;Popper and Carlson, 1998;Luczkovich et al, 2000;Kastelein et al, 2005).…”

“…We previously demonstrated that the intensity of sciaenid sound production is correlated with sciaenid-type egg production (Luczkovich et al 1999). Here, we discuss use of an automated passive acoustic sampling device (sonobuoy; Luczkovich et al 2000) to describe the spatial and temporal distribution of sound production in Pamlico Sound. The goals of this paper were to (1) describe the automated sonobuoys and passive acoustic survey protocol, (2) present spawning habitat data for areas in Pamlico Sound, (3) describe the captive and field recordings of the four sciaenids, and (4) examine the temporal and spatial distribution of each species' sounds.…”

“…One area that is still problematic for active acoustic approaches is remote species identification (Horne 2000); a solution is passive acoustic approaches, which can be used to identify species . Passive acoustics also has a long history in fish biology (Tower 1908;Burkenroad 1931;Fish and Mowbray 1970;Mok and Gilmore 1983;Luczkovich et al 1999Luczkovich et al , 2000 but is not widely used by fishery biologists. In passive acoustics, low-frequency sounds (,10 kHz) produced by certain species of soundproducing (soniferous) fishes are used to determine species identity and use of particular habitats (Luczko- vich et al 1999).…”

Abstract.-Sounds produced by spawning fishes in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, have been recorded both under captive conditions and in hydrophone and sonobuoy field surveys. These sounds, produced by males, are species specific, are associated with spawning, and are most likely used for advertisement to attract females. Sounds can be discriminated by use of spectral analysis (oscillograms and spectrograms) of recordings, and the peak frequencies produced by each species can be correlated with species and fish size. Sonobuoys were used for passive acoustic surveys, which were ''sound truthed'' from recordings of captive fishes to determine the timing and location of spawning sites for four species in the family Sciaenidae: red drum Sciaenops ocellatus, spotted seatrout Cynoscion nebulosus, weakfish C. regalis, and silver perch Bairdiella chrysoura. During May-September 1998, sounds were first detected in the early evening, increased in loudness after sunset, and ended by sunrise. Weakfish and silver perch were heard predominantly at inlet locations in May and June, whereas spotted seatrout (peak drumming in July) and red drum (peak drumming in September) were heard predominantly at lower-salinity river mouth locations in western Pamlico Sound. Passive acoustic surveys can be used to determine critical spawning habitats of sciaenid fishes; such surveys have revealed interesting insights into fish behavior and should be integrated into ocean observing systems.

“…There are many examples of organisms that are adaptively silent (curtail vocalizations) at times or in locations when or where predation risk is higher or in response to detection of a predator (Schevill 1964;Curio 1976;Spangler 1984;Jefferson et al 1991;Luczukovich et al 2000;Magrath et al 2007). Such 'acoustical avoidance' (as coined by Curio 1976) requires some predictability in predation risk, either because times and places of heightened predation risk can be reliably detected, or because predators can be detected before they have detected the prey.…”

I review the evidence that organisms have adaptations that confer difficulty of detection by predators and parasites that seek their targets primarily using sensory systems other than vision. In other words, I will answer the question of whether crypsis is a concept that can usefully be applied to non-visual sensory perception. Probably because vision is such an important sensory system in humans, research in this field is sparse. Thus, at present we have very few examples of chemical camouflage, and even these contain some ambiguity in deciding whether they are best seen as examples of background matching or mimicry. There are many examples of organisms that are adaptively silent at times or in locations when or where predation risk is higher or in response to detection of a predator. By contrast, evidence that the form (rather than use) of vocalizations and other sound-based signals has been influenced by issues of reducing detectability to unintended receivers is suggestive rather than conclusive. There is again suggestive but not completely conclusive evidence for crypsis against electro-sensing predators. Lastly, mechanoreception is highly understudied in this regard, but there are scattered reports that strongly suggest that some species can be thought of as being adapted to be cryptic in this modality. Hence, I conclude that crypsis is a concept that can usefully be applied to senses other than vision, and that this is a field very much worthy of more investigation.
