The iconic deep bass of whale song and high frequency echolocation clicks of dolphins are familiar to many, yet few know of the croaking and drumming of fish. Fish chorusing is when many, usually male fish, produce sound together, often for mating purposes. By eavesdropping on fish sounds, we can better understand which, where, when, and how fish reproduce, and use this knowledge to protect important fishes and habitats. Join PhD candidate, Ella Kim, as she shares about all we can learn when we listen to fish!
