It was so severe that Pinellas County beachgoers complained of eye and throat irritation. Red Tide is essentially an outbreak of hazardous algal blooms that produce toxins fatal to marine life. Snapping shrimp and other invertebrates were thought to be immune.<\/p>\n<p>But the silence the recorders picked up suggest otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBunces Pass is normally healthy,\u201d Gowans told PBS. \u201cIt\u2019s bordered by very healthy mangroves and sea grasses. There are usually lots of fish, dolphins and marine life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The difference in sounds between 2005 and years when there was no red tide\u20142006, 2011 and 2012\u2014was striking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe high-frequency claps of snapping shrimp, normally plentiful in the area, were muted,\u201d PBS reported. \u201cThis marked the first evidence that this species is influenced by algal blooms, according to the authors.\u201d (The other authors in the study were Susan Lowerre-Barbieri of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which installed the hydrophone recorders, and David A. Mann of the University of South Florida.)<\/p>\n<p>Gowans said it\u2019s unclear if the silence the recorders uncovered was the result of the shrimp dying or simply \u201cmaking less noise.\u201d The tiny snapping shrimp, which are less than an inch long, rebounded the following year in that area of Tampa Bay, Gowans said.<\/p>\n<p>Simard said the study is the latest example of using sound as a way to monitor the ecosystem. As audio technology continues to improve and decrease in cost, it is much more accessible to researchers.<\/p>\n<p>One area of his current research involves the impact of the BP oil disaster on the dolphin populations in the Gulf of Mexico near Tampa Bay. Comparing underwater dolphin sounds collected before, during and after the oil spill could reveal the impact the oil had on dolphins in the area, he said.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":1345,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,45,55,68,85,86],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1344","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-biology","9":"category-environmental-studies","10":"category-marine-science","11":"category-research","12":"category-student-research"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
