“…Mortality can also occur in close proximity to underwater explosions (Ketten, 1995;Danil and St. Leger, 2011). These types of noise impacts have been reported not only for marine mammals but also for fishes and other taxa (e.g., Day et al, 2017Day et al, , 2019McCauley et al, 2017;Hawkins and Popper, 2018), which are preyed upon by marine mammals. Noise impacts on these taxa can thus indirectly affect marine mammals if noise leads to a physical reduction in prey availability or to a change in prey behavior that affects its availability to predators.…”

Erbe et al. Antarctic Underwater Noise score was a refinement of noise exposure criteria. Environmental evaluations are a requirement before conducting activities in the Antarctic. Because of a lack of scientific data on impacts, requirements and noise thresholds often vary between countries that conduct these evaluations, leading to different standards across countries. Addressing the identified research needs will help to implement informed and reasonable thresholds for noise production in the Antarctic and help to protect the Antarctic environment.

“…MNP is reported to interfere with 1) vocalizations emitted by many animals to communicate with their conspecifics e.g., for mate attraction/selection, avoiding predators or alerting about the presence of threats (Hatch et al, 2012;Erbe et al, 2016); 2) natural sounds that animals perceive and use as clues for orientation in space, movements in search of food, migration to reproductive areas, and detection of appropriate habitats for settlement (Simpson et al, 2016). MNP can thus alter behaviors and interfere with many vital processes Rako-Gospić and Picciulin, 2019), as well as cause physiological impacts ranging from mild stress to internal bleeding and ultimately death (Fernández et al, 2005;Aguilar de Soto et al, 2016;Hawkins and Popper, 2018).…”

“…Invertebrates do not have gas-filled cavities and are likely to just perceive the particle motion component of sound. Fish and invertebrates hearing is mostly sensitive to sounds <2000 Hz, which correspond to the frequency band of most anthropogenic noises (Hawkins and Popper, 2018), and are therefore likely to be sensitive to and potentially affected by MNP (being most of the energy produced by MNP <1000 Hz; Hildebrand, 2009).…”

Highlights (3 to 5 bullet points, maximum 85 characters, including spaces, per bullet point, to be submitted in a separate editable file in the online submission system, using 'Highlights' in the file name). • Marine noise is a widespread source of pollution in the Mediterranean Sea • Noise pollution produces a multitude of impacts on marine fish and invertebrates • Marine noise pollution impacts individuals to ecosystems • A variety of measures could be adopted to mitigate marine noise pollution Abstract (max 150 words): Marine noise pollution (MNP) can cause a multitude of impacts on many organisms, but information is often scattered and general outcomes difficult to assess. We systematically reviewed the available knowledgeliterature about MNP impacts on Mediterranean fish and invertebrates. Both chronic and acute MNP produced by several human activities-e.g. maritime traffic, pile driving, air guns-were found to cause detectable effects on intraspecific communication, vital processes, physiology, behavioral patterns, health status and survival. These individual-based effects can extend to induce population-and ecosystem-wide alterations, especially when MNP impacts functionally important species, such as keystone predators and habitat forming species. Curbing the threats of MNP in the Mediterranean Sea is not an easya challenging task, but a variety of measures should could be adopted to mitigate MNP impacts. Successful measures will require more precise accurate information on impacts, and that effective management of MNP actually becomes a priority in the policy makers' agenda.

“…Coastal and offshore human activities often lead to local increments of ambient noise levels, polluting the marine soundscape (Slabbekoorn et al 2010;Radford et al 2014;Whitfield & Becker 2014;Dooling et al 2015;Hawkins & Popper 2018;Putland et al 2018). To better understand the short and long-term effects of marine acoustic pollution, not only at the individual but also at the population and ecosystem level (Kunc et al 2016;Nabe-Nielsen et al 2018), more underwater acoustic ecological studies should be performed (Slabbekoorn et al 2010;Brumm 2014;Radford et al 2014;Slabbekoorn 2016).…”

The deleterious effects of anthropogenic noise on animal communication are nowadays recognised, not only in urban environments but also in terrestrial habitats and along coasts and in open waters. Yet, the assessment of short-and long-term exposure consequences of anthropogenic noise in marine organisms remains challenging, especially in fish and invertebrates. Males of the Mediterranean damselfish Chromis chromis vocalise and perform visual displays (multimodal communication) to attract mates. The frequency-range of courtship vocalisations overlaps with low-frequency noise generated by maritime activities, resulting in a reduced detection distance among conspecifics. We quantified the number of courtship-related visual displays performed by males living in areas with different levels of maritime traffic. We also tried to manipulate ambient noise in the field to test male short-term response to increased noise levels. Males living in busier areas (near to a harbour) performed significantly more visual displays than those living in less congested areas. When exposed to artificially-increased ambient noise level (playback of boat noise), males did not adjust the number of visual displays accordingly. Yet, we note how assessing the actual effect of maritime traffic in marine populations in their natural environments is particularly difficult, as the effects of boat noise cannot be easily disentangled from a variety of other intrinsic or environmental factors, discussed in the paper. We thus present suggestions to obtain more robust analyses of variations of courtship behaviours in territorial fishes. We hope this will facilitate a further understanding of the potential long-term effects of anthropogenic noise, whose analyses should be prioritised in the context of environmental impact assessment, resource management and biodiversity conservation.
