The effects of noise disturbance from various recreational boating activities common to inland waters on the cardiac physiology of a freshwater fish, the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). (2008, background): “Far fewer studies have focused on fish (but see Popper et al., 2004 for a summary of fish hearing and noise impacts) despite the fact that many populations of marine and freshwater fish are imperilled (Richter et al., 1997; Leidy and Moyle, 1998; Musick et al., 2000).”
Living on the edge: dugongs prefer to forage in microhabitats that allow escape from rather than avoidance of predators (2007, background): “Nowacek et al. 2004 ), we can reject the possibility that vessel traffic drove or contributed to the microhabitat shifts that we observed.”
