| Abstract | Fish commonly respond to anthropogenic noise through behavioral changes. There are limitations to replicating noise and observing behavioral responses in controlled lab or cage experiments, which make observing behaviors in natural environments a preferred option. Acoustic telemetry offers advantages in providing the ability to monitor behavior of wild, individual fish in their natural environments while exposed to realistic sound from anthropogenic sources. In recent years, acoustic telemetry has been used in several studies to address questions about the behavioral responses of marine fish to various types of anthropogenic noise. Despite several benefits to the use of acoustic telemetry, there are logistical and analytical challenges to consider, and for some research questions, combining field studies using acoustic telemetry with experiments in more controlled environments may be most appropriate. |
