Last year in Canada, over 3.7 million dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, fish and other animals were used in scientific research and toxicity testing. Animals are suffering, even though better options are available.

We found that strategies for conserving at-risk fishes in Canada rarely consider acoustics. We propose that integrating fish sonifery and noise pollution into Canadian policies would improve species management and conservation efforts. Read more at doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...!
