Abstract

Anthropogenic noise can elicit a significant elevation in plasma cortisol levels in fish (Smith et al. 2004; Wysocki et al. 2006). In response to a stressor, fish attempt to compensate by using a series of biochemical and physiological changes that start with a neuroendocrine response. This response includes the release of cortisol into the circulatory system (Wendelaar Bonga 1997).
