“…Initial soundscape studies showed differences between soundscapes separated by several kilometres [ 89 , 93 , 195 ], and more recent efforts have noted that reefs separated by just a few hundred metres may vary [ 149 ]. Further, there are bioacoustic differences within a reef (distances of a few metres), suggesting the soundscapes reflect biological hotspots or areas of particular activity [ 94 , 98 , 112 ]. As a result, spatial replication is a necessity, not only to account for variability between sites, but also to ensure that the soundscapes recorded are representative of an area or habitat.…”

“…Fish choruses, potentially produced by the same species, have been shown to change their timing at different locations, occurring at different times of the day/night, or displaying different lunar patterns in intensity [ 104 ]. Similarly, snapping shrimp have been shown to produce sounds at different times and daily patterns in adjacent reefs, just hundreds of metres apart [ 98 ].…”

Ecosystems and the communities they support are changing at alarmingly rapid rates. Tracking species diversity is vital to managing these stressed habitats. Yet, quantifying and monitoring biodiversity is often challenging, especially in ocean habitats. Given that many animals make sounds, these cues travel efficiently under water, and emerging technologies are increasingly cost-effective, passive acoustics (a long-standing ocean observation method) is now a potential means of quantifying and monitoring marine biodiversity. Properly applying acoustics for biodiversity assessments is vital. Our goal here is to provide a timely consideration of emerging methods using passive acoustics to measure marine biodiversity. We provide a summary of the brief history of using passive acoustics to assess marine biodiversity and community structure, a critical assessment of the challenges faced, and outline recommended practices and considerations for acoustic biodiversity measurements. We focused on temperate and tropical seas, where much of the acoustic biodiversity work has been conducted. Overall, we suggest a cautious approach to applying current acoustic indices to assess marine biodiversity. Key needs are preliminary data and sampling sufficiently to capture the patterns and variability of a habitat. Yet with new analytical tools including source separation and supervised machine learning, there is substantial promise in marine acoustic diversity assessment methods.

“…Higher frequency bands from 500 Hz can be associated with sonic fish choruses, emitted while in spawning aggregations or eventually defending territory and feeding, and by snapping shrimp clicks produced during aggressive behavior [88][89][90]. Their emissions show a clear diel pattern, as recorded elsewhere [12,44,43], with the highest peaks at dusk and dawn at all the seven sites.…”

Soundscape of green turtle foraging habitats in Fiji, South Pacific

The soundscape features of the marine environment provide crucial information about ecosystem health for many species, and they are defined by the local biological, geophysical, and anthropogenic components. In this study, we investigated the soundscape at green turtle neritic foraging habitats in Fiji, South Pacific, with the aims of characterizing the contribution of each component and of comparing the levels of acoustic pressure among sites with different abundances of sea turtles. Four sites were selected at two islands, and one hydrophone was deployed at each site. Generalized additive models highlighted that sound pressure levels (SPLs) at low frequencies (125-250 Hz) were especially affected by wind conditions, while at higher frequencies (>250 Hz) SPLs were mostly influenced by fish and crustacean acoustic activity. Higher abundances of green turtles were found at sites with the highest levels of SPLs and the highest number of acoustic emissions by fishes and crustaceans but were not related to maximum seagrass and macroalgae coverage, or the highest number of fish. The selected coastal habitats have negligible anthropogenic noise, thus this study informs physiological and behavioral studies of the acoustic signatures that sea turtles might target and provides a baseline against which potential impact of soundscape changes on sea turtle spatial abundance and distribution can be evaluated.

“…Hydrophones capture a range of sounds produced by coral-reef organisms, potentially complementing traditional visual survey methods. Potential benefits of passive acoustic monitoring include (a) quantitative and objective measures of reef health, (b) low demands on labor, logistics and skill; (c) records of rarely-seen cryptic and nocturnal species; and (d) information about diel and monthly variation in reef ecosystems as well as single-time-point measures (Staaterman et al, 2014;Kaplan et al, 2015;Parsons et al, 2016;Lillis and Mooney, 2018).…”
