Many types of human-generated noise impact coastal and marine fishes through disruption of physiological processes and interruption of auditory communication. In turn, fish health and behavior can be affected. These impacts might be short-term or long-term and can lead to changes in spawning aggregations, habitat use, reproductive success, and mortality. The purpose of this report is to summarize the importance of the impacts of anthropogenic noise to fishes managed by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission.
