Area of Science:

  • Ichthyology and Bioacoustics
  • Neuroethology
  • Auditory Neuroscience

Background:

  • The auditory evoked potential (AEP) technique, particularly non-invasive methods introduced in 1998, has become crucial for studying fish hearing.
  • Over 100 studies now utilize AEPs, highlighting their significance in fish bioacoustics research.

Approach:

  • This review synthesizes findings from over 100 AEP studies on fish hearing.
  • It compares AEP-derived hearing thresholds with behavioral data.
  • The review examines baseline hearing abilities, accessory hearing structures, hearing development, and the impact of various factors on auditory perception.

Key Points:

  • AEPs provide reliable hearing thresholds for 111 fish species, allowing comparisons across diverse taxa.
  • Studies investigated the role of accessory hearing structures (Weberian ossicles, swim bladder, otic bladders) and the ontogenetic development of hearing.
  • The AEP technique effectively quantifies temporary threshold shifts and masking effects from various noise sources, including anthropogenic noise.
  • Factors influencing fish hearing include ecological (temperature, habitat), genetic (albinism), methodological, and behavioral variables.
  • AEPs are valuable for understanding acoustic communication by comparing hearing sensitivity with sound spectra and analyzing auditory system capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • The non-invasive AEP technique is a powerful and versatile tool for advancing our understanding of fish auditory systems.
  • This review consolidates current knowledge and identifies future research directions in fish bioacoustics and auditory neuroscience.
