Investigation of the interaction between short-term and long-term sound exposure on the antipredator response of free-ranging sand gobies. Exposure to boat noise did not affect the startle response, time frozen or response latency of gobies to a predator stimulus. However, individuals exposed to short-term boat noise playback were absent from the experimental area for shorter periods after the predator strike than gobies exposed to the silent control. results point to decreased magnitude in anti predator response.
