“…All these sounds were emitted at the same interval of frequency and had the same kind of sound spectrum, showing they were constructed on the basis of the same mechanism. Differences in the main frequency and in the duration of the pulses are related to fish size in Pomacentridae (Myrberg et al 1993;Lobel and Mann 1995;Lobel 1997, Maruska et al 2007;Colleye et al 2009;Parmentier et al 2009). Consequently, the differences between the calls, namely the number of pulses, the pulse period and the loudness are due to the fish physiology reflecting the behaviour and its motivational state.…”

“…Asoh 2004). Also, in certain pomacentrid species such as the anemonefishes, the females actively participate in the anemone's defence by making sounds (Parmentier et al 2005;Colleye et al 2009). According to these pieces of information, 2 genders-3 pattern colours-6 different sounds, the species has the potential to make different combinations and produce 36 different messages, 42 if we consider that the pattern of colouration can be shown without any sound.…”

Synchronous underwater audio-video recordings and a passive acoustic detector were used to study the behaviour of Dascyllus flavicaudus. These damselfish produced sounds during six different behaviours and showed three different colour patterns while doing so. These sounds can be grouped into three classes: sounds associated with (1) fighting; (2) mating/visiting and (3) chasing and signal jumps. Moreover, the evolution of the different kinds of sound is discussed: the first calls could be a single pulse originating in teeth snapping. Modifications in the rhythm and number of pulses allowed the fish to build new messages. Daily recordings showed that sound production rates were higher at sunrise and sunset than during the day and that no sound was produced during the night. However, the kinds of call were different: sunrise sounds seemed mainly associated with mating/visiting, whereas the sounds associated with chasing and to signal jumps were mainly found at sunset.

“…Relationships between fish size and different acoustic characteristics have been shown in many species : sound level changes in a sciaenid (Connaughton et al, 2000) and in Forcipiger sp. (Boyle and Tricas, 2011), dominant frequency in most species studied (Amorim and Hawkins, 2005;Amorim et al, 2003;Bertucci et al, 2012;Colleye et al, 2011;Malavasi et al, 2003;Myrberg et al, 1993) and pulse duration in clownfish (Colleye et al, 2009(Colleye et al, , 2012 and Forcipiger sp.

There was an error published in J. Exp. Biol. 220,[186][187][188][189][190][191][192][193] The surname of Sam Van Wassenbergh was incorrectly displayed. This has been corrected in the online full-text and PDF versions.The authors apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. 731 ABSTRACTThe ability to produce sound has been known for decades in Balistidae. Sounds of many species have been recorded and a variety of sound-producing mechanisms have been proposed, including teeth stridulation, collision of the buccal teeth and movements of the fins. The best-supported hypothesis involves movements of the pectoral fin against the lateral part of the swimbladder, called a drumming membrane. In this study, we describe for the first time the sounds made by the blackbar triggerfish Rhinecanthus aculeatus, which are like short drum rolls with an average duration of 85 ms, 193 Hz dominant frequency and 136 dB SPL level at 3 cm distance.The sounds are a series of pulses that result from alternate sweeping movements of the right and left pectoral fins, which push a system of three scutes that are forced against the swimbladder wall. Pulses from each fin occur in consecutive pairs. High-speed videos indicate that each pulse consists of two cycles. The first part of each cycle corresponds to the inward buckling of the scutes, whereas the second part of the cycle corresponds to an apparent passive recoil of the scutes and swimbladder wall. This novel sound production mechanism is probably found in many members of Balistidae because these peculiar scutes occur in other species in the family.Comparison of sound characteristics from fishes of different sizes shows that dominant frequency decreases with size in juveniles but not in adults.

“…As in many other fish species, negative correlations exist between some acoustic features and body size of the individuals (e.g. Bertucci et al, 2012;Colleye et al, 2009;Crawford et al, 1997). It suggests that acoustic signals carry information on the sender's size.…”

Grunts are fish that are well known to vocalize, but how they produce their grunting sounds has not been clearly identified. In addition to characterizing acoustic signals and hearing in the French grunt Haemulon flavolineatum, the present study investigates the soundproduction mechanism of this species by means of high-speed X-ray videos and scanning electron microscopy of the pharyngeal jaw apparatus. Vocalizations consist of a series of stridulatory sounds: grunts lasting ~47 ms with a mean period of 155 ms and a dominant frequency of ~700 Hz. Auditory capacity was determined to range from 100 to 600 Hz, with greatest sensitivity at 300 Hz (105.0±11.8 dB re. 1 μPa). This suggests that hearing is not tuned exclusively to detect the sounds of conspecifics. High-speed X-ray videos revealed how pharyngeal jaws move during sound production. Traces of erosion on teeth in the fourth ceratobranchial arch suggest that they are also involved in sound production. The similarity of motor patterns of the upper and lower pharyngeal jaws between food processing and sound production indicates that calling is an exaptation of the foodprocessing mechanism.
