Sound is instrumental in attracting fish larvae to reefs on which to settle according to research played out by an international ensemble of scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the University of Edinburgh, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NZ), Curtin University of Technology and the University of Auckland. The research, published in the prestigious "Science" journal today (April 8), has shown for the first time that reef fish not only locate settlement sites using reef sounds but also discriminate between sounds.
