Article Synopsis
- There is increasing concern about the effects of noise from ships and small boats on important fish species, such as Pacific herring and juvenile salmon.
- Researchers conducted experiments to measure the behavioral responses of these fish to noise from boats traveling at different speeds, finding that specific noise levels triggered behavioral changes.
- The findings suggest that repeated exposure to boat noise can lead to increased energy use and reduced foraging efficiency in fish, highlighting the need to understand the broader ecological impacts of anthropogenic noise.
