"Despite spending weeks at sea as larvae, potentially
scattered over many kilometers, young coral reef fish find
suitable settlement habitat and in some cases return to their
natal reefs. We report that some dominant families of larval
reef fish use the sounds made by fish and shrimp resident on
reefs to help them locate and settle on reefs and that some
fish groups use specific components of the reef sound to
guide their behavior. These finds could offer potential for
active management of reef fisheries."
