“…The main driver of increases in anthropogenic noises is boat and ship noise (Frisk, ) and these have been shown to induce behavioural effects in at least some fish species (De Jong, Amorim, Fonseca, Fox, & Heubel, ; De Jong, Amorim, Fonseca, & Heubel, ; De Robertis & Handegard, ; Engås, Misund, Soldal, Horvei, & Solstad, ; Picciulin, Sebastianutto, Codarin, Farina, & Ferrero, ; Sarà et al., ). All fish tested to date can detect the particle motion component of sound waves, especially predominant at frequencies below approximately 800 Hz close to the sound source (Popper & Hawkins, ), but to detect the pressure component of sound, fish must have evolved some specialised relationship between a gas‐filled structure and the ear to change the pressure waves into particle displacement (Schulz‐Mirbach & Ladich, ). Because of the variety of hearing specialisations present in teleosts (Braun & Grande, ; Higgs, Lui, & Mann, ; Schulz‐Mirbach & Ladich, ), the responses of fish to anthropogenic noise sources is likely to differ based at least on phylogenetic position and specialisation.…”
