Otoliths in bony fishes play an important role in the senses of balance and hearing. Otolith
mass and shape are, among others, likely to be decisive factors influencing otolith motion …

A recent survey lists more than 100 papers utilizing the auditory evoked potential (AEP)
recording technique for studying hearing in fishes. More than 95% of these AEP-studies …

This paper considers the importance of particle motion to fishes and invertebrates and the
steps that need to be taken to improve knowledge of its effects. It is aimed at scientists …

In this paper we reconsider the designation of fishes as being either “hearing specialists” or
“hearing generalists,” and recommend dropping the terms. We argue that this classification …

The development of waterways, for hydropower and other industrial uses, has substantially
altered many of the freshwater habitats of the planet and this has had considerable impact …

An astonishing diversity of inner ears and accessory hearing structures (AHS) that can
enhance hearing has evolved in fishes. Inner ears mainly differ in the size of the otolith end …

Considerable diversity has been documented in most sensory systems of elasmobranchs
(sharks, rays, and skates); however, relatively little is known about morphological variation in …

Background Fish reproduction, development and growth are directly affected by
temperature, investigating the regulatory mechanisms behind high temperature stress is …

A series of complementary hypotheses have been proposed to explain the recruitment of
marine and temperate pelagic fish larvae originated from pelagic eggs in coastal …

The passive listening hypothesis proposes that dolphins and whales detect acoustic signals
emitted by prey, including sound-producing (soniferous) fishes. Previous work showed that …
