Does motor noise from recreational boats alter parental care behaviour of a nesting freshwater fish?

Recreational boating activity has the potential to generate noise pollution that may influence wild fish. Such noise may be particularly relevant to fish engaged in parental care (PC), where alterations in behaviour could influence individual fitness and productivity of fish populations. Here, the PC behaviour of the freshwater largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ) was examined to determine whether disturbance from boat noise altered...
