Underwater speakers playing the crackles and pops of a healthy reef drew more baby coral to artificial structures in Hawaii and attracted 4 to 14 times more fish larvae than a silent control site, according to two new studies led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. The coral study was published Oct. 8 in Communications Biology, according to a UC San Diego release.
