"While they may lack some of the melodic qualities of birds or whales, there
are almost 1,000 species of fish that use sounds to communicate, and possibly
many more.
Yet, despite nearly 150 years of contemporary scientific research into fish
sound production, there was no global inventory of fish species known to make
sounds. Until now. Fish are one of the largest groups of sound-producing
vertebrates, with speculated sound production abilities in thousands of the
34,000 fish species globally.
Our research team, led by Audrey Looby, conducted a systematic review examining
almost 3,000 references. We extracted data from more than 800 different studies
to determine that 989 fish species have been shown to produce active sounds
globally. We used our findings to create FishSounds, an online database
cataloguing fish sounds."
