The reaction of a captive herring school to playbacks of a noise-reduced and a conventional research vessel

Abstract: Fish avoidance of vessels can bias fisheries-independent surveys. To understand these biases, recordings of underwater radiated vessel noise from a noise-reduced and a conventional research vessel were played back at the same sound pressure levels (SPL) as experienced in situ to Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in a net pen at two different densities. The noise-reduced vessel recording was also scaled to the same SPL as the conventional vessel to test if characteristics other than SPL affected the reactions.… Show more

“…Our results indicate a negligible reduction in mackerels' responses to the consecutive predator model treatments. Previous studies have demonstrated that schooling fish (wild-caught Atlantic herring, Clupea harengus ) repetitively exposed to a similar predator model did not show reduced collective responses over time, and that they were able to regain a "normal" pre-exposure collective swimming dynamics and school internal organisation only few minutes (< 3 min) after exposure [ 26 , 41 , 42 ]. In addition, the greater time intervals of exposure to the predator model during the post-treatment phase may have contributed to prevent the risk of an habituation effect, as the timing of exposure was unpredictable for the fish (as suggested by earlier work [ 43 ]).…”

“…Meanwhile, Rieucau 44 found that the herring school exhibited a stronger collective escape behavior, owing to a vocal behavior of killer whales. From the hearing sensitivity of herring, Handegard 45 suggests that fish (including herring) can produce different behavioural responses for the subtle changes in sounds. These observations tally with the proposition 6,7 that herring could avoid the strong sound field, and herring would gather in the relatively quiet region in middle of the spiral net to avoid the loud feeding call.…”
