“…For effective orientation, animals require cues that are heterogeneous in the environment and contain reliable information about potential settlement sites [26,27]. These potential cues include vision [28], olfaction [23,[29][30][31], sounds emanating from reefs [10][11][12], differences in wind-or wave-induced turbulence [23], gradients in abundance of fish, plankton or reef detritus [23] or a combination of several of them [27,32,33]. Many of these cues, such as vision, are effective only at small distances from the reef [34][35][36] (a few tens of meters) [23], whereas sounds from the reef (e.g., from benthic invertebrates and fish) are potential cues for larval orientation over long distances.…”

The ability of different marine species to use acoustic cues to locate reefs is known, but the maximal propagation distance of coral reef sounds is still unknown. Using drifting antennas (made of a floater and an autonomous recorder connected to a hydrophone), six transects were realized from the reef crest up to 10 km in the open ocean on Moorea island (French Polynesia). Benthic invertebrates were the major contributors to the ambient noise, producing acoustic mass phenomena (3.5–5.5 kHz) that could propagate at more than 90 km under flat/calm sea conditions and more than 50 km with an average wind regime of 6 knots. However, fish choruses, with frequencies mainly between 200 and 500 Hz would not propagate at distances greater than 2 km. These distances decreased with increasing wind or ship traffic. Using audiograms of different taxa, we estimated that fish post-larvae and invertebrates likely hear the reef at distances up to 0.5 km and some cetaceans would be able to detect reefs up to more than 17 km. These results are an empirically based validation from an example reef and are essential to understanding the effect of soundscape degradation on different zoological groups.

“…In fact, one study has already shown that food color affects prawns’ larvae feeding behavior (Yong, Kawamura, Lim, & Gwee, 2018). In different species, color preference has also been related to the selection of appropriate habitats (Gu et al, 2017; Havel & Fuiman, 2017; Strader, Davies, & Matz, 2015). For instance, changes in color preference throughout the ontogenetic development of some caridean shrimps (Lysmatidae) have been related to the physical properties of the environments occupied by them at different stages of development (Johnson & Rhyne, 2015).…”

Influence of color and brightness on ontogenetic shelter preference by prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii)

The giant river prawn ( Macrobrachium rosenbergii ), native to rivers and river mouths of different Asian countries, is a heavily widespread species that has been introduced around the world due to its great commercial importance. These prawns are farmed under many different conditions that might translate to a great range of light environments, which impact their behavior and productivity. Here, as a contribution for prawns' welfare and economical productivity, we present the first study employing both visual modeling and behavioral data to evaluate ontogenetic changes on color preference of juveniles and adults of M. rosenbergii. For this purpose, we offered ten shelters of different colors to juveniles and adults and registered their preference. Our results showed that the criterion for shelter preference changed with ontogeny, since juveniles chose shelters based on chromaticity (preference for blue), while adults based their decisions on brightness (preference for dark gray). This preference of adults for dark colors is probably associated with a light avoidance behavior. We recommend providing blue shelters for juveniles and dark shelters for adults.
