There has been an increase in the concern about the effects of anthropogenic (human generated) sounds on marine animals. This paper cites some earlier studies that have shown that intense sound affects fishing and also has potentially profound effects on the auditory system of fishes. Thus such sounds can have the potential to decrease the survival of individual fishes and populations. The paper concludes that further exploration is needed on the effects of various types of sound and long term impacts of how anthropogenic sounds impact on the behavior and ecology of fishes.

• Effects of Sound on Fish (2005, background): “Despite the concerns raised by increased human-generated sound in the aquatic environment, very little is known about the effects of exposure to such sounds on marine mammals, and far less is known about the effects on fishes (see reviews in NRC 1994, 2000, 2003; Popper 2003; Popper et al. 2004).”
