C The growing amount of human noise pollution in the ocean could make fish unable to find a good habitat and cause their death, according to a new research from a UKled team working on the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef (珊瑚 礁 ) in the world, off the northeast coast of Australia. After developing for weeks at sea, baby reef fish rely on natural noises as a clue to find the coral reefs where they can survive and grow stronger. However, with human noise pollution from ships, wind farms and oil mining on the increase, researchers are now concerned that this important behavior is ing under threat. Dr. Simpson, a senior researcher in a British university, said, “ When only a few weeks old, baby reef fish face a very difficult task in locating and choosing a suitable habitat. Reef noise gives them quite important information. But if they learn, remember and bee attracted towards the wrong sounds, we might be leading them in all the wrong directions.” Dr. Simpson and his team began their environment. Using underwater light traps, Dr. Simpson and his team collected baby reef fish and put them into tanks with underwater speakers playing natural reef noise or a mix of manmade sounds. The next night the fish were put into speciallydesigned choice tanks. Again they played natural or manmade sounds. All the fish liked the reef noise, but only the fish that had experienced the mix of manmade sounds swam towards it, the others swam away when hearing the manmade sounds. The text result shows that fish can learn a new sound and remember it hours later. And they can tell the difference between sounds and, based on their experience, bee attracted to other sounds, which might really affect their behavior on the most important night of their life. The breakdown of natural behavior could have damaging effects on the population of future fish groups. 64. Baby reef fish find coral reefs mainly by their sense of _____.
