I didn't even know that fish could hear.

What? WHAT?

indeed they can - absolutely vital to their survival - another factor, damage to the inner ear can disallow them from being able to adjust to pressure changes. This can severely destroy the fish population.

Huh?

Strange part of it is that fish are attracted to the noise. SOme excellent underwater video seems to indicate this as huge schools of fish gather around these sites.

And, even those fish who eventually recover completely complain about a constant ringing in their ears. Anpther little know effect on fishes is that all the noise causes theri little fish ears to fall off leaving nothing to hold their fish glasses. Thus, not only can fish hearing suffer but so too can fish seeing. It is a terrible thins.
