Field-based analysis shows boat noise alters individual behaviours in gobies and shrimp, suggesting species-specific vulnerabilities.

Gobies showed increased burrow usage during noise exposure, indicating behavioral shifts.
Shrimp exhibited stronger responses to 2-stroke noise, highlighting taxon-specific sensitivities to sound.
Despite behavioral changes, tactile communication between gobies and shrimp remained unaffected.
Findings emphasize the need for targeted research to reduce marine noise pollution impacts on species interactions.

Manera et al. (2025) studied this question.
