Researchers combine acoustic monitoring with a neural network to identify fish activity on coral reefs by sound. They trained the network to sort through the deluge of acoustic data automatically, ...

Coral reefs are necessarily gorgeous in color and movement, but below the waves there is a similarly colorful world of sound. Underwater, there is a soundscape of snapping shrimp, grunting fish, and ...

Researchers from FishEye Collaborative, a conservation-technology nonprofit, Cornell University, and Aalto University have developed a new tool that combines underwater sound recording and 360° video ...

Healthy coral reefs have rich soundscapes, full of the croaks, purrs, and grunts of various fishes and the crackling of snapping shrimp. Larval coral uses these sounds as cues to identify the best ...

Researchers have discovered playing the ambient sounds of healthy coral reefs underwater helps encourage vital reef-building coral, suggesting a promising path for repairing weakening reefs around the ...

Fish were discovered to make sounds more than 2,000 years ago, but they have gone largely unheard by humans. While a typical, bustling coral reef may be home to dozens of fish species, until recently, ...

A team of scientists from the UK and Australia teamed up to use underwater loudspeakers to try and entice fish back to dead coral reefs and potentially help them recover. By replicating the sounds of ...

Purring fish and snapping shrimp. Croaks and pulses from a chorus of fish. Those are some of the noises that make up the soundscape of a healthy coral reef. Local scientists at Woods Hole ...

An autonomous underwater robot capable of locating and mapping biodiversity hotspots on coral reefs using a combination of ...

Marine Biologist Aran Mooney has proposed a possible solution to all of the ongoing issues with coral reefs: fish music. Working with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Falmouth, Massachusetts, ...

WASHINGTON, March 11, 2025 – Coral reefs are some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. Despite making up less than 1% of the world’s oceans, one quarter of all marine species spend some portion of ...
