Passive Acoustic Monitoring of Fishes in the Mediterranean Sea: Past, Present and Future Perspectives ; Belgium

In the Mediterranean Sea, Passive Acoustic Monitoring of fishes has been carried out since 2002. Studies have shown that the same species can be monitored over wide geographical and temporal scales thanks to the consistency of its acoustic signature, which can also be used to identify cryptic species that would otherwise remain undetected. The monitoring of single species vocalizations in presence of boat noise has provided information about the strategies which fish might use for coping with the ever-increasing level of human-generated noise.
