Fig. 6.14 Difference in number of individuals caught in light traps with playback of coral reef
noise. Mean number of individuals (
SE) of larval developmental stage of reef-settling
Brachyura ( a ), pelagic taxa ( b ), and nocturnally emergent taxa ( c ). Negative values indicate
greater numbers in noise traps; positive values indicate greater numbers in control traps. Numbers
above or below bars indicate total number of individuals sampled (Reproduced with permission

larvae of common coastal crab species is related to the acoustic signature of the
different habitat types. A decreased metamorphic time was observed in megalopae
of five species of temperate and tropical crabs when exposed to the sounds of
the optimal settlement habitat type.
