Abstract

Laura investigated the effects of vessel noise on reef fishes. She found that the noise produced by ships and small boats affected the antipredator behaviour of juvenile fishes, moreover boat noise had long-term effects on growth. These results suggest that vessel noise has the potential of compromising the survival of juvenile fishes.
