声音是水生环境中生物的一种潜在的重要导航线索。大多数珊瑚鱼产生的浮游幼虫必须找到合适的定居栖息地完成其生命周期。我们使用光陷阱和水下扬声器，以确定是否珊瑚鱼幼虫被吸引到珊瑚礁上产生的声音。“声音陷阱”比“无声陷阱”捕获了更多的三鳍鱼（一种底栖珊瑚鱼）幼虫，这表明一些珊瑚鱼的幼虫可能使用声音作为野外的导航线索。捕捞沙丁鱼幼虫，远洋鱼，没有不同的治疗。这些结果是第一次演示，其中我们知道，声音作为一个潜在的导航线索在水生环境。
Sound is a potentially important navigational cue for organisms in aquatic environments. Most reef fishes produce pelagic larvae that must locate suitable settlement habitat for the completion of their life-cycle. We used light traps and underwater loudspeakers to determine whether reef fish larvae are attracted to sounds produced on a reef. 'Sound traps' caught more triplefin (a benthic reef fish) larvae than did 'silent traps', demonstrating that the larvae of some reef fishes may use sound as a navigational cue in the field. Catches of pilchard larvae, a pelagic fish, did not vary between treatments. These results are the first demonstration, of which we are aware, of sound as a potential navigational cue in the aquatic environment.
