We tested predictions of the hypothesis that Red Drum alter sound production in response to vessel noise. We used passive acoustic monitoring in 2021 and 2022 at an estuarine inlet and Generalized Least Squares (GLS) models to assess vessel equivalent continuous sound levels (L\n                    <jats:sub>eq<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) and other abiotic parameters on Red Drum chorus L\n                    <jats:sub>eq<\/jats:sub>\n                    .

In cases when L\n                    <jats:sub>eq<\/jats:sub>\n                    of vessel noise periods exceeded fish calling L\n                    <jats:sub>eq<\/jats:sub>\n                    immediately prior, it is not known if fish modulated calling amplitude because the portion of combined vessel noise and fish chorus amplitude from vessels is unknown. In peak spawning season (September-October) vessel noise was frequent, detected in &gt;31% of recordings in both years and up to 100% of recordings on some dates. Observations of disrupted choruses and high vessel noise prevalence suggest spawning behavior may be impacted by abundant vessel noise.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0344649","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T17:25:22Z","timestamp":1788974722000},"page":"e0344649","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impacts of vessel noise on Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) spawning choruses in Saint Andrew Bay, Florida, U.S.A."],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-0559-7192","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Bennett H.","family":"Price","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dakota","family":"Brunetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Kirkland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.
