Spiny lobster noises may be heard up to 3 kilometers away

Noises produced by European spiny lobsters—known as antennal rasps—may be detectable up to 3 kilometers underwater, according to a study in Scientific Reports. The sound, created when lobsters rub an extension of their antenna against a ‘file’ below their eyes, may be used for communication or to deter predators. Its detection could help conservation efforts, the study suggests.
