“…Putland and Mensinger (2019) showed that acoustic deterrents have generally had greater success deterring species in the order Cypriniformes than the order Perciformes. Much of the variability in the auditory capacity of fishes likely reflects adaptation to different underwater soundscapes (Amoser & Ladich, 2005; Putland et al., 2019). For example, ostariophysian fishes, including many invasive carps, catfishes and Tench ( Tinca tinca ), may be more sensitive to auditory stimuli due to specialised auditory structures that improve hearing in shallow freshwater environments (Popper & Fay, 2011).…”

Phylogenetic signal found in fish–community response to an acoustic common carp deterrent

Non‐structural deterrents may limit invasive fish dispersal and range expansion without altering waterflow or navigation. Despite extensive research in laboratory and artificial environments, few studies have been conducted in situ and, of those, few have evaluated the full community response of fishes interacting with the deterrent. We deployed acoustic deterrents within a physical trap‐and‐sort fishway at Cootes Paradise, Ontario, Canada, to determine the avoidance responses of a community of fishes attempting to disperse into the wetland. To test the effectiveness of an acoustic deterrent, the catch rates of fishes entering Cootes Paradise were compared when the deterrent was off (control) and on (treatment). Community diversity was fit to candidate generalised linear models, and common carp catch abundance was fit to candidate generalised additive models, both of which were compared with backwards selection. The presence of a phylogenetic signal in fish responses was assessed with Pagel's λ and Blomberg's K indices of trait evolution. Over 11,500 fishes, representing 16 species and 12 families, were captured. The acoustic deterrent did not alter the Shannon diversity of fishes challenging the fishway, but a significant phylogenetic signal in species‐specific avoidance responses was observed. There was a modest decrease in the catch rates of common carp (ambient trials = 1.03 fish/hr, deterrent trials = 0.84 fish/hr), a species of major management concern. Fish avoidance responses to acoustic deterrents were widely variable, and species specific. The avoidance response of common carp, the target species, was weak, probably due to a complex acoustic environment surrounding the fishway. Group size did not alter deterrent efficacy, but precipitation, water temperature, and turbidity did. Our study successfully quantified acoustic deterrent responses across an entire community of wetland fishes, including both native and invasive species. We are the first to demonstrate that there is a phylogenetic component to deterrent responses across species. We also identify environmental parameters that alter deterrent efficacy in the field, and describe important considerations for the deployment of non‐structural deterrents in the field.

“…For those interested in broadening their understanding of general issues of fish bioacoustics (hearing, sound production, behaviour etc . ), there are papers in a volume by Webb et al () as well as several more recent reviews (Ladich, ; Ladich & Fay, ; Mickle & Higgs, ; Putland et al, ). More detailed reviews of potential effects of anthropogenic sound on fishes (and other aquatic animals) can be found in papers by the authors of this review (Hawkins et al, ; Hawkins & Popper, ; Popper & Hawkins, ) and in the reports of several meetings on the Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life (http://www.an-2019.org; Hawkins et al, ; Popper & Hawkins, , and the open access Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (http://www.go.umd.edu/UcA).…”

“…There is a need to investigate the hearing abilities of lampreys and many other fishes, under conditions where the particle motion can be monitored or estimated and the ratios of these two potential stimuli can be varied. Such experiments have been reviewed in a number of recent papers, including Hawkins () and Putland et al ().…”

Fishes use a variety of sensory systems to learn about their environments and to communicate.Of the various senses, hearing plays a particularly important role for fishes in providing information, often from great distances, from all around these animals. This information is in all three spatial dimensions, often overcoming the limitations of other senses such as vision, touch, taste and smell. Sound is used for communication between fishes, mating behaviour, the detection of prey and predators, orientation and migration and habitat selection. Thus, anything that interferes with the ability of a fish to detect and respond to biologically relevant sounds can decrease survival and fitness of individuals and populations.

“…Sound can convey information directly and be used as a major communication mode in many animals, including fish (Bass & Ladich, 2008; Putland et al., 2019). Some fish can use the swim bladder to produce high level sounds which can be heard at long distances (Alves et al., 2016; Kasumyan, 2008; Montie et al., 2017).…”
