AbstractHearing is a primary sense in many marine animals, and we now have a reasonable understanding of what stimuli generate clear responses, the frequency range of sensitivity, expected threshold values, and mechanisms of sound detection for several species of marine mammals and fishes ( Au et al. 2000 ; Fay 1988 ). For marine invertebrates, our knowledge of hearing capabilities is relatively poor and a definition or even certainty of sound detection is not agreed on (Webster et al. 1992 ) despite their magnitude of biomass and often central role in ocean ecosystems.
